More Hostages Taken, More Beheadings Threatened

From CNN:

A militant group in Iraq holding six truckers hostage said one man will be beheaded every three days unless their demands are met. The six hostages -- two from Kenya, three from India and one from Egypt -- work for a Kuwaiti firm. The kidnappers demanded that the companies or countries the men are affiliated with pull their personnel from Iraq.
