DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's North African wing said Wednesday it had carried out its threat to kill a British hostage it was holding in the Sahara.Britain said it had reason to believe the hostage, Edwin Dyer, had been killed and Prime Minister Gordon Brown condemned the killing as "a barbaric act of terrorism."An official source in Algeria told Reuters: "The Briton, according to our information, has been killed by AQIM (al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) in Mali."
The group had said it would kill the Briton if the British government did not release Abu Qatada, a Jordanian Islamist it is holding in prison.Dyer was killed on May 31 after a second deadline for the group's demands expired, it said in a statement on a website used by al Qaeda-linked groups."The British captive was killed so that he, and with him the British state, may taste a tiny portion of what innocent Muslims taste every day at the hands of the Crusader and Jewish coalition to the east and to the west," the statement said."Let Gordon Brown and his aggressor government reap the fruits of their thoughtless policies toward Muslims."
When taken he was not alone, but some of the other hostages were able to escape, for more pics check here.
