Likelihood of Beheadings?

It's a sad thing to ask, but can we really escape the next five-six days with the Iraq situation growing increasingly tense without more abductions and beheadings as we have seen too frequently of late?

In fact, there are other captives. Depending on the report you read, there may be between 2 and 20 known captives, some being held by groups who have vowed to kill. And yes, it matters just as much when it's a foreigner as when it's an American sacrificed. Some of the mentality shown with the execution and videos of Kim Sun-Il, where smug Americans said, "well at least it's one one of ours" hardly promotes that whole idea of a coalition.
