BAGHDAD, Iraq - The South Korean hostage beheaded in Iraq was likely kidnapped at the end of May and not June 17 as initially reported by his employer, a South Korean Foreign Ministry official said Wednesday. Controversy about when Kim Sun-il was abducted arose after an Islamic militant group made good on threats to kill him when the South Korean government refused to cancel plans to send more troops to Iraq. In early June — before it was widely known that Kim was missing — a videotape was delivered to Associated Press Television News in which Kim says in English...

Execution in Iraq stirs up hornets' nest By David Scofield Will the kidnapping and execution of a Korean contractor prompt South Korea to rethink its dispatch plans? Like the tragic execution of American Paul Johnson in Saudi Arabia, Kim Son-il, a 33-year-old South Korean man working for a Korean US military contractor in Iraq, has become the latest victim in a campaign targeting independent contractors supporting the United States military in the region. Initially it seemed Kim, a student of Arabic, may have been granted a reprieve as the time of his execution lapsed and Arab television later reported his...

Muslim Community Hopes Killing Doesn't Affect Perception of Islam Muslims bow down in the direction of Mecca, during a service at a mosque in Itaewon. Korean Muslim Imam Lee Hang-rae said during an interview at a mosque in Itaewon, Seoul on Wednesday that, ¡°We Muslims were also shocked and felt heartbroken like everyone else. I am worried that this incident may damage the perception of Islam on the whole. The group that kidnapped and murdered Kim Sun-il is a political group that has nothing to do with Islam. They do not obey Islamic doctrines and are even against Islam....

His death was met with outrage in Washington and remorseful determination in Seoul. On the streets of Baghdad, there was little sympathy for South Korean Kim Sun-Il, beheaded by his captors and dumped on the road between Baghdad and Fallujah. Abu Zaman, a 53-year-old driver, was blunt on the fate of the 33-year-old evangelical Christian: "He deserved it. I object to beheading, but if he was co-operating with the Americans he made a bad decision." A portrait of Kim Sun-Il, who was killed by Iraqi militants, is displayed in front of a bible at a hospital in Busan. Photo: AFP...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea's president strongly condemned the beheading of a South Korean hostage in Iraq but remained determined to send more troops, saying they were needed to help rebuild the country. President Roh Moo-hyun rejected the kidnappers' claim that South Korea's plan to send 3,000 additional troops to Iraq would hurt Iraqis. The captors killed Kim Sun-il, a 33-year-old South Korean working in Iraq, after Seoul rejected their demand to cancel the South Korean deployment. "The South Korean plan to send troops to Iraq is not to engage in hostilities against Iraqis or other Arab people...

June 23, 2004 -- As horrific as was yesterday's news that al Qaeda-linked thugs beheaded another hostage in Iraq — a 33-year-old South Korean, Kim Sun-il — the incident, in a sense, still marked a kind of victory for the civilized world. This, after all, was the third high-profile decapitation by the thugs in recent weeks, following the slaughter of Nick Berg in May and Paul Johnson on Friday. And what do the terrorists have to show for it? Nothing. Their demands that South Korea keep its troops out of Iraq were summarily ignored. So kudos to Seoul for its...

Spurning a South Korean's desperate plea to live and frantic late bargaining by his government, Al Qaeda-linked terrorists beheaded another civilian hostage in Iraq yesterday. Arab news network Al Jazeera broke the news, running footage of Kim Sun-Il, 33, blindfolded and kneeling in an orange suit in front of five hooded captors. One had a huge knife in his belt, but the clip ends before the men decapitate their victim. In South Korea, Kim's younger sister, Kim Jong-Sook, rocked back and forth at word of his death, then flung herself from the room, wailing, "Bring back my brother, bring back...

The distraught parents of the hostage beheaded in Iraq today accused the South Korean government of betrayal for failing to prevent his grisly execution. The parents of Kim Sun-Il, overcome by grief, shed bitter tears for their only son, who was abducted and killed by Islamic militants demanding all South Korean troops be removed from Iraq. "Bring my son back to life, bring my son back to life," wailed the mother of Kim, a translator whose decapitated body was found yesterday by the US military dumped on the road between Baghdad and Fallujah.
