this image taken from the Web site of the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq June

25, 2006 showing the killing of three men it said were Russian hostages seized
in Iraq earlier this month. The images, posted on the Web site often used by
militants, showed two masked militants beheading one man said to be a Russian
hostage and the 'execution' of another by shooting. It also showed the beheaded
body of a third. The fate of a fourth hostage was not clear. [Reuters]
