Posted June 22, 200420 yr al qaeda just beheaded him. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/06/22/iraq.hostage/index.html http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2004/WORLD/meast/06/22/iraq.hostage/story.korean.hostage.1.jpg SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- Iraqi insurgents have killed the South Korean civilian they were holding hostage, according to the South Korean Foreign Ministry. A spokesman said the U.S. military found the body and notified the South Korean military, which in turn notified the South Korean Embassy in Baghdad. "It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-Kil in Seoul. "A body identified to be of an Asian man was found between Baghdad and Fallujah. Afterwards, the photo of the body was e-mailed to the South Korean Embassy and was confirmed to be the body of Kim Sun Il." Kim, 33, was seized Thursday in Fallujah, west of Baghdad. He was an Arabic speaker and evangelical Christian who had worked in Iraq for a year as a translator for a South Korean firm supplying goods to the U.S. military. The Arab television network Al-Jazeera broadcast a video that was very similar to the first portion of one it aired earlier this year before the graphic beheading of American businessman Nicholas Berg, with armed and masked insurgents standing behind their blindfolded captive, who kneels on the floor. "To the South Korean citizens: We warned you," one of the militants says, reading a statement. "This is the result of your own doings. Enough lies, or cheatings. "Your soldiers here are not for the sake for the Iraqis, but they are here for the cursed America." Han Sung-joo, the South Korean ambassador to the United States, told CNN that Kim's death was "a very deplorable event," and he took issue with the militants' claims that the Koreans were not helping the Iraqis. "They are not correct," Han said. "We are trying to help the Iraqis. ... The Iraqis like us, and they appreciate our role there." President Bush also condemned the killing. "The free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal actions of these barbaric people," he said. Kim, Berg and Paul Johnson -- who was killed last week by his captors in Saudi Arabia -- were all wearing orange jumpsuits similar to those worn by prison inmates in the United States. Al-Jazeera did not broadcast video of Kim's killing. The insurgents, in a video broadcast Sunday, had given South Korea 24 hours to cancel plans to send 3,000 additional troops to Iraq, threatening to behead Kim if it did not. In the video, Kim cried in English, "Please get out of here. I don't want to die. ... Your life is important, but my life is important." The South Korean government Tuesday urged businesses with civilians in Iraq to remove them. Shin said South Korea had been trying to establish contact with as many countries and organizations as possible that could help win Kim's release. He declined to comment on whether South Korea had direct contact with the kidnappers. South Korean government officials gave numerous interviews to Arab media appealing for Kim's release, Shin said. Kim was an Arabic speaker and evangelical Christian who had worked in Iraq for a year as a translator for a South Korean firm supplying goods to the U.S. military. South Korea plans to send 3,000 troops to Erbil in the northern Kurdish region of Iraq. Military officials say about half are combat troops trained to protect the rest, who are to help rebuild Iraq, distribute aid and train security forces. In the face of the captors' threat to behead the man, the South Korean government Tuesday reaffirmed the deployment plans. About 670 South Korean military medics and engineers in southern Iraq since May last year will move to Erbil to join the main force, which Seoul sees as a difficult but vital gesture to the United States, an ally with 37,500 troops in the South to deter North Korea. "President Roh [Moo-hyun] instructed related ministries to explain to the Iraqi people that our government is sending troops to Iraq to focus on reconstruction efforts there without engaging in hostile acts there," presidential spokesman Yoon Tai-young told reporters before the death was announced. Vice Foreign Minister Choi Young-jin told reporters in Seoul, "There is no change in the government's spirit and position that it will send troops to Iraq to help establish peace and rebuild Iraq." Once the troops are in place, South Korea will be the largest coalition partner in Iraq after the United States and Britain. (Full story)
