One of four Russian diplomats, abducted in Baghdad June 3, 2006, is seen in this image taken from the Web site of the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq June 25, 2006. The al Qaeda-led group posted video footage on the Internet on 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]
