An Islamist Web site showed video of an American hostage in Iraq being beheaded by members of insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's group.
The group gave a new 24-hour deadline for its demand that Muslim women be released from Iraqi prisons or its other hostages will be killed. The group previously released a video of three hostages -- included two Americans and a Briton.
On Saturday, the Arabic-language network Al-Jazeera broadcast video of the hostages with their abductors giving a 48-hour deadline for their demands to be met.
