Insurgents behead victim in attack on car

INSURGENTS attacked a car carrying at least three Westerners in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul yesterday, killing them and their Iraqi driver and cutting off the head of one of the victims, local witnesses said.

The white, American-made sedan was attacked while driving through western Mosul and set on fire, the witnesses said.

A photographer for Reuters saw three bodies lying on the street close to the blazing vehicle, all apparently Westerners.
