Nick Berg
Nicholas Evan "Nick" Berg
(April 2, 1978 – May 7, 2004) was an American freelance
radio-tower
repairman who went to
Iraq
after the
United States' invasion of Iraq
. He was abducted and
beheaded
according to a video released in May 2004 by Islamist militants in response to the
Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse
involving the
United States Army
and Iraqi prisoners. The
CIA
claimed Berg was personally murdered by
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
. The decapitation video was released on the internet, reportedly from London to a Malaysian-hosted homepage by the Islamist organization
Muntada al-Ansar
.
