Two Held Over Berg Beheading in Iraq - U.S. Military

54 minutes ago



BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces in Iraq (news - web sites) are holding two people suspected of possible involvement in the kidnap and beheading of American Nicholas Berg earlier this month, the U.S. military said on Friday.

Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, a spokesman for the forces, told a news conference four people had been detained in a raid in Baghdad two days ago and two had subsequently been released. Of the other two, he said: "We may find out that they have no association with the murder."

2. Nick knew Arabic much better than has been reported in the news. My friend heard him speaking on the phone in Arabic on more than one occasion. He says that as far as he knew, he was not uncomfortable speaking the language.

2. Did you see my earlier post?
The story is "The Unexamined Life of Nicholas Berg."

It disappeared without reply in GD, but it lists lots of weird info on Berg, like why did he have $70,000 if he was "looking for work" and lots more weird crap.
