The Arabic television station Al-Jazeera has broadcast a second video of kidnapped blog worker The Commissar, who took himself hostage last week and threatens to behead himself with his own circular saw, unless his demands are met.
The station showed footage of The Commissar demanding that American troops stay in Iraq. He also urged DynaCorp, the private security firm, to keep open its office in Baghdad, and appealed for Iraqi women prisoners to be executed.
The Commissar, who is holding himself hostage, was seized last week while at his New York office. The Commissar, 50, was born in America and has lived and worked in America for 30 years and is married to an American. He holds American citizenship.
I think this marks the “jump the shark” moment for the impact of beheading threats. Move on Jihadis…. your ratings are about to tank.
