Iraqi rebels threaten to behead lorry driver
Iraqi militants have threatened to behead a Turkish lorry driver if his employers and the Kuwaiti contractor they work for don’t cease operations in Iraq within 48 hours, according to a video tape broadcast on the Al-Arabiya television station today.
The group, calling itself the Islamic Resistance Movement – Al-Noaman Brigades, released a tape showing a bearded man, purported to be the truck driver, sitting in front of a black banner bearing the group’s name in gold Arabic characters.
