Nick Berg
[edit]On May 11, 2004, the website of the Islamist forum Muntada al-Ansar reposted a video titled "Sheikh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi slaughters an American",[2][3] which shows American citizen Nick Berg being decapitated.[4][5]
The web page, on a site located in Malaysia, was then shut down a few days after by the domain provider.[6][7]
It is unclear whether al-Zarqawi is one of the men in the video. Both al-Zarqawi and Muntada al-Ansar are associated with the Al-Qaeda movement.[8][1]
