Gordon Brown today condemned al Qaeda over the 'barbaric' murder of a Briton who was kidnapped in Mali four months ago.
The Prime Minister said the Government had 'strong reason to believe' the terrorist organisation had killed Edwen Dyer as it had threatened to do if extremist cleric Abu Qatada was not released from a British high-security prison.
Mr Dyer, who had been working in Austria, was kidnapped in Niger along with three other Europeans after visiting an African festival in January.

A statement on a jihadist website by an al Qaeda branch said it 'killed Dyer on May 31, finding that Britain is unresponsive and does not seem to care for its citizens'.
Threat: Mr Dyer's killers had demanded the release of militant Abu Qatada, above
It added: 'The British captive was killed so that he, and with him the British state, may taste a portion of what innocent Muslims taste every day at the hands of the Crusader and Jewish coalition to the east and to the west.'

Just disgusting to be honest, I hate the treatments on hostagages at the hands of these radicals. It makes me laugh when you here that our medics treat the likes of this on the battle field however when they capture a prisoner it always seems to lead to death.
