Bigley's beheadings site found in Fallujah

FALLUJAH, Iraq, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. troops have identified the house in Fallujah where Iraqi insurgents held and beheaded British hostage Kenneth Bigley.

An Iraqi insurgent captured in Fallujah Friday led Iraqi forces to the house in the city's center where he said a British hostage had been held, as well as other foreign hostages, CNN reported.

Details of the house match videos in which Bigley appeared during his captivity, including such elements as writing on the walls and the presence of a chicken-wire cage.

Bigley and two U.S. colleagues were kidnapped in Baghdad Sept. 16, and all were beheaded. Bigley's beheading was recorded on a videotape sent to Abu Dhabi TV in early October.

The Islamic militant group Unification and Jihad claimed to have kidnapped the men. It claims allegiance to terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida.

The group had demanded the release of all female Iraqi prisoners for Bigley's freedom, but the International Committee of the Red Cross insisted Britain was not holding any women in Iraq.
