British kidnap victim suicides in Iraq

The group that kidnapped five Britons in Iraq in May 2007 claims one of their captives has committed suicide.

Britain's Sunday Times newspaper has reported the claim, which it says was sent to editorial staff in a video.

The video from an Islamic group showed the photo of a man, identified as 'Jason', appearing alongside an Arabic message which said the hostages had slipped into depression and made more than one attempt at suicide.

It claimed that 'Jason' had committed suicide on May 25th and blaming the "procrastination, and foot-dragging, and lack of seriousness on the part of the British government."

The statement called for the release of nine prisoners being held in Basra in return for the freedom of the hostages.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who was in Iraq to visit British troops, said the message was distressing and called for the release of the remaining captives.

Goreng your so full of it! Israelis have killed thousands of Palestinian women and children. Israelis forcibly remove people who OWN their homes, and have for many generations, all to make way for another Israeli subdivision. It is Israel who has invaded, and now occupys, another peoples homeland. People fighting to get their homes back ar NOT a cult or terrorist organization or whatever else you try to brand them as. Try kicking me from my home when I have paid in full and broken no laws. I guarantee you’ll be looking down the end of a barrel.

The Koran says it is not a sin to kill infidels, lying for the cause is fine, just another weapon to use against the stupid infidels. Who will be the Jason killer judge? The Israelis returned 5 healthy and alive muslim militant prisoners in exchange for 2 dead Israelis soldiers. Death and lies we are now told to trust and make peace with . This is a dangerous cult. Wake up before it is too late.
