Islamist Group, Ansaru, Post Videos Of Hostages' Bodies (LOOK)
Italian and Greek authorities confirmed on Sunday that a British, an Italian, a Greek and four Lebanese construction workers abducted in northern Nigeria last month had been killed by their captors, reports Reuters.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said it was “very likely” they were dead, calling it “an act of cold blooded murder.” Nigerian authorities have thus far refused to confirm or deny the killings.
The silent video published by the al-Qaeda linked group dated March 9 shows a gunman standing next to a pile of bodies, then a series of close-ups of their faces lit up by a torch.
It is entitled in Arabic “The Killing of the seven Christian hostages in Nigeria.” A caption underneath says in Arabic and in English: “In the name of Allah Most Beneficient Most Merciful”.
The workers were seized from the premises of Lebanese construction firm Setraco in the remote town of Jama’are in the northern state of Bauchi.
