Four Detained in Iraq for Berg Slaying

Posted on May 21, 2004

Breaking story: four men have been detained in Iraq for the murder of Nicholas Berg.

Though quotes like this don’t inspire much confidence in the case against them, I must say:

[Brig. Gen. Mark] Kimmitt said he did not know who the latest suspects were or where they came from.

“I don’t know their prior affiliations or prior organizations,” he said. “We have some intelligence that would suggest they have knowledge, perhaps some culpability.”
