Did anyone see this today... terrible news ... i wish this wouldnt of happened

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/11/iraq.main/index.html

So we tell you that the dignity of the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib and others is not redeemed except by blood and souls. You will not receive anything from us but coffins after coffins, slaughtered in this way.``

The video was discovered as a U.S. Senate committee heard testimony on the U.S. military investigation into abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib. (Full story)

At the beginning of the tape, the victim describes himself as Nicholas Berg from Pennsylvania.

``My name is Nic Berg. My father`s name is Michael. My mother`s name is Suzanne. I have a brother and a sister -- David and Sarah,`` says the man.

``I live in West Chester, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia.``

He is then shown sitting in front of five hooded men. After the statement is read by one of the men, the victim is pushed to the floor and, amid his screams, his throat is cut. Finally, one of the captors holds up the man`s severed head.
