Seoul reaffirms plans to send more troops to Iraq
Tuesday, June 22, 2004 Posted: 4:58 PM EDT (2058 GMT)


SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- Iraqi insurgents have carried out their threat to behead the South Korean civilian they were holding hostage, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Military officials said U.S. military police found the body west of Baghdad and notified the South Korean military, which in turn notified the South Korean Embassy in Baghdad.

A senior coalition official in Iraq said the body appeared to have been thrown from a vehicle. "The man had been beheaded, and the head was recovered with the body," the official said. Pentagon sources said the body had been booby-trapped with explosives.

"It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news. A body identified to be of an Asian man was found between Baghdad and Fallujah," said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil in Seoul.

"Afterwards, the photo of the body was e-mailed to the South Korean Embassy and was confirmed to be the body of Kim Sun-il."

In a video broadcast Sunday, the insurgents had given South Korea 24 hours to cancel plans to send 3,000 additional troops to Iraq, threatening to behead Kim if it did not.

The South Korean government reaffirmed the deployment plans Tuesday but urged businesses with civilians in Iraq to remove them.

South Korea plans to send 3,000 troops to Erbil in northern Iraq. Military officials say about half are combat troops trained to protect the rest, who are to help rebuild Iraq, distribute aid and train security forces.

About 670 South Korean military medics and engineers in southern Iraq since May last year will move to Erbil to join the main force, which Seoul sees as a difficult but vital gesture to the United States, an ally with 37,500 troops in the South as a deterrent to North Korea.

Once the troops are in place, South Korea will be the largest coalition partner in Iraq after the United States and Britain.

Kim, 33, was seized Thursday in Fallujah, west of Baghdad. He was an Arabic speaker and evangelical Christian who had worked in Iraq for a year as a translator for a South Korean firm supplying goods to the U.S. military.

The Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera broadcast a video showing armed and masked insurgents standing behind Kim, who was kneeling on the floor. The video was similar to the first portion of one it broadcast earlier this year that showed the beheading of American businessman Nicholas Berg.

"To the South Korean citizens: We warned you," one of the militants said in the video broadcast Tuesday. "This is the result of your own doings. Enough lies, or cheatings. Your soldiers here are not for the sake for the Iraqis, but they are here for the cursed America."

Al-Jazeera did not broadcast video of Kim's killing.

Kim, Berg and Paul Johnson -- killed last week by his captors in Saudi Arabia -- were all shown in videos wearing orange jumpsuits similar to those worn by prison inmates in the United States.

In the video broadcast Sunday, Kim cried in English, "Please get out of here. I don't want to die. ... Your life is important, but my life is important."

Han Sung-joo, the South Korean ambassador to the United States, said Kim's death was "a very deplorable event," and he took issue with the militants' claims that the Koreans were not helping the Iraqis.

"They are not correct," Han said. "We are trying to help the Iraqis. ... The Iraqis like us, and they appreciate our role there."

President Bush also condemned the killing.

"The free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal actions of these barbaric people," he said.

Secretary of State Colin Powell said Kim was "an innocent man there to help the people of Iraq. We condemn such acts of terrorism against civilians who are there to build a peaceful and democratic Iraq."

Seoul appealed for Kim's life

Shin said South Korea had been trying to establish contact with as many countries and organizations as possible that could help win Kim's release.

He declined to comment on whether South Korea had direct contact with the kidnappers.

South Korean government officials gave numerous interviews to Arab media appealing for Kim's release, Shin said.

"President Roh [Moo-hyun] instructed related ministries to explain to the Iraqi people that our government is sending troops to Iraq to focus on reconstruction efforts there without engaging in hostile acts there," presidential spokesman Yoon Tai-young told reporters before the death was announced.

Vice Foreign Minister Choi Young-jin told reporters in Seoul, "There is no change in the government's spirit and position that it will send troops to Iraq to help establish peace and rebuild Iraq."

CNN's Sohn Jie-ae in Seoul contributed to this report.

HAYWARD, California (AP) -- A judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in the case of three men accused of killing a transgender teen after jurors declared they were deadlocked.

The case has been closely watched by transgender advocates, who said the verdicts would send a message about how much their lives are valued.

Michael Magidson, Jose Merel and Jason Cazares, all 24, were charged with killing a 17-year-old who was known as Gwen but was born Edward Araujo.

According to trial testimony, Araujo was beaten and strangled after her biological identity was revealed during a confrontation on October 4, 2002, at Merel's house in Newark, a San Francisco suburb. Merel and Magidson had had sexual encounters with Araujo and had become suspicious about Araujo's gender after comparing notes, according to testimony.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Harry Sheppard declared the mistrial after the jury foreman announced that the eight men and four women were deadlocked after nine days of deliberations.

If they had decided to convict, the jury would have had the option of returning verdicts of first-degree murder, punishable by 25 years to life in prison; second-degree murder, 15-to-life; or manslaughter, which carries a maximum term of 11 years.

The case was charged as a hate crime, which could add four years to sentences.

Cazares had sought acquittal, saying he wasn't involved in the killing and only helped bury the body. Magidson's attorney argued the case was not murder but manslaughter, a crime of passion triggered by sexual fraud.
