BAGHDAD, Iraq - The decapitated body of what appears to be a young Asian
male was found in northwestern Baghdad, Iraqi officials said Saturday.
Associated Press Television News footage showed the body in an ambulance as
it was taken to a hospital.
Hashim, the policeman who examined the body, said the man had long black
hair and Asian facial features, with a scar near his heart.

"I am the one who examined the body and I confirm that he is the Japanese
person who appeared on television and was threatened to be beheaded," he
said.

Youssef Hussein, an official at Karkh Jumhuri hospital, said the body was
found with the hands tied in the back. The head was placed over the victim's
back.
