It has been claimed that these reports are unfounded. I hope that this is true rather than wishful thinking.

www.abovetopsecret.com... This will explain a little better!!

God guys... please don't be true.

What is this world comming to?

I think it would be pretty naive of us to even consider the possibility that this person would be released.

These terrorists have no heart, as anyone who has seen even on of these execution/beheading video's can attest to. Those who actually have feelings and compassion do not do these kinds of things.

After seeing what they have done to Armstrong and Hensley, I think the fate of this man is way beyond our hands. I believe that if he is not already dead, then he will be soon, the only way to confirm this death is by one of these horrible people posting another gruesome video on a website.

What the hell is the website address? Why are all these worthless news organizations too afraid to give out these terrorist web site addresses? Those failures.

Well if our guy has been killed then god help the muslims on the streets of liverpool and other areas cause people over here will start a riot and attack the musilms and asians on the streets. There already been reports of threats of this going to happend I just hope he's not dead and there are no attacks on the muslims in the uk over this.

Plus there hasn't been a word of this on the UK news so to be honest when I hear it on our TV I'll belive that this story is true and that these people could be justr claim that he is to take some heat of the situation.

on the bbc news and it says that " Ken Bigley is alive, says brother". there is a chance that he could be held for a very long time which I hope is not the case. This is good news that he is still alive .
