DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group posted on the Internet on Monday a video it said showed the killing of a U.S. security consultant it had abducted earlier this month.

The Islamic Army in Iraq said on December 8 it had killed the man, identified as Ronald Schulz, because the U.S. government had not fulfilled its demands, which included freeing all Iraqi prisoners and compensation for Iraqi families.



The brief video showed a gunman repeatedly shooting an automatic rifle at a blindfolded man who was kneeling on the ground. It did not show his face.
The video, which was posted on an Islamist Web site often used by Iraqi militant groups, included a still photograph of identity cards bearing Schulz's name and picture.

The Islamic Army in Iraq has claimed a number of kidnappings and attacks on foreign and Iraqi government forces. It killed an Italian journalist it held last year.

Schulz was one of several Westerners kidnapped by Iraqi militants since November.

Gunmen are so far holding hostage four Christian peace activists -- two Canadians, a Briton and an American -- as well as a French engineer. Their fate remains unknown.

On Sunday, Germany announced that a German archaeologist kidnapped by gunmen in Iraq three weeks ago had been freed.

Thousands of civilians have been kidnapped in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein's government, including more than 200 foreigners. Some foreigners were seized by criminal gangs seeking ransom but insurgents have also used these hostages to pressure their governments to withdraw their armies from Iraq.

Many foreign hostages have been released, but around 50 have been executed, some by beheadings broadcast on the Internet.

Bunch of savages. A pacifist in nature, I would like to slice off the heads of those inhuman scum. So awlful.

I saw a beheading tape once, fully shown and uncensored. Since then murder will no longer be an abstraction to me.
What a sick world...

You are right, I just can't understand why they do that to another human being.

nope nor me...well perhaps to try and get the US out of their country....but it is ucking disgusting.....i've aslo seen some of the beheadings and you would have to be so numb to life to be able to do somthing like that to another man....surely they can't think their going to heaven or wherever muslims go for beheading people/blowing people up.....although they do say if you die for your religion you go to heaven....but i'm just not seeing how this has anything to do with religion...
