No New Word on Brit Hostage Threatened with Beheading

As far as we know right now, the third of the trio that was kidnapped less than 10 days ago from their Baghdad home is still alive, despite the fact that the two Americans from the group - Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley - were beheaded this week. Their bodies have already been recovered.

CNN is reporting that a group of British Muslims is trying to make an appeal for the Brit's release. You may have heard the heart-breaking plea for his life that this man made earlier this week. His family also made a heart-wrenching appeal, saying that the hostage takers had shown mercy before and hoped they would this time.
