Who was Nick Berg?
Nicholas Evan "Nick" Berg was a American businessman who went to Iraq after the US invasion of Iraq. He was abducted and later executed according to a video released in May 2004 by Islamist militants in response to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal involving the United States Army and Iraqi prisoners. The CIA claimed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi personally murdered Berg.
The decapitation video was released on the Internet, reportedly from London to a Malaysian-hosted homepage by the Islamist organization, al-Ansars.
