米占領軍への物資納入会社で働いていた通訳の韓国人が期限後殺された.
Korean captive killed after deadline passes
Tuesday 22 June 2004, 20:46 Makka Time, 17:46 GMT
A South Korean translator working for a company that supplies equipment to US occupation forces in Iraq has been executed after a deadline set by his captors passed.
In a videotape received by Aljazeera, the resistance group Jamat al-Tawhid and Jihad said it was fulfilling a pledge it made yesterday that the 33-old-year South Korean translator Kim Sun-Il would be beheaded if their demands were not met by South Korean government.
The captors threatened on Sunday to kill Kim, who was captured last Thursday near Falluja, in 24 hours if South Korea did not cancel its plan to deploy troops to Iraq.
South Korea rejected the demand and said on Monday it would send forces to Iraq despite an earlier video showing Kim begging for his life.
Body found
South Korea confirmed that the body of a South Korean businessman held in Iraq had been killed and his body found.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil told reporters the US military had found 33-year-old Kim Sun-il's body and had informed South Korean officials.
Kim is an employee of South Korean Gana Trading Company that supplies equipment to the US military and has been in Iraq since June 2003.
On Tuesday, protests were staged across South Korea pressing the Seoul to scrap its plan to deploy more troops and condemning the government's "irresponsible response".
In an online poll Tuesday 70.5% of 28,281 respondents demanded Seoul cancel the troop deployment to Iraq, with only 24.2% supporting it.
