CNN Says Reports Brit Hostage Beheaded Appear Wrong

Apparently conjecture earlier today said the third hostage from Hensley and Armstrong's group (both men beheaded earlier this week), a man named Bigley, had been beheaded, too. But CNN says that's incorrect and showed an ad some British Muslims had taken out in Arab-language papers with Bigley's picture and an ardent appeal for his safe release.

But why was their so little coverage of the Italian women hostages killed this week? Granted, I expect American news to focus more on Americans taken and beheaded, but they've covered others. These women were NOT contractors for companies like Halliburton.
