Breaking News. Video Released by hostage takers.

A video released by Muslim militants has shown them beheading British hostage Kenneth Bigley in Iraq. Mr Bigley, who was given an Irish passport on Tuesday, was shown speaking as six militants stood behind him. One read a statement and then cut his head off with a knife. Sources in the rebel-held city of Fallujah said earlier that Mr Bigley was killed yesterday afternoon in Latifiya, a Sunni Muslim town southwest of Baghdad.
