Islamist site shows US hostage Paul Johnson beheaded by Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia Agence France-Presse, Fri Jun 18, 2:30 PM ET DUBAI (AFP) - An Islamist website showed Paul Johnson, the US national taken hostage by Al-Qaeda gunmen in Saudi Arabia, beheaded and his head then placed on his back. "Delivering on our promise, the mujahedeen from the Fallujah Squad slaughtered the American prisoner Paul Marshall Johnson after the ultimatum set by the mujahedeen to the tyrants of the Saudi government expired," said a statement posted on the website and signed by "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninula." The site carried three pictures of the beheaded captive, his head in a pool of blood. One of the photos showed his head placed on his back. ... "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula" had posted a video on a website Tuesday night threatening to kill the 49-year-old aeronautics engineer unless the Saudi government freed detained militants, estimated at more than 700, within 72 hours. Riyadh said it would not negotiate with terrorists and security forces scoured the Saudi capital in an unsuccessful bid to locate him. |
