British engineer Kenneth Bigley's body was dumped south of the Iraqi capital Friday, according to Iraqi sources.
Bigley was beheaded last week by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi loyalists, after nearly a month in captivity.
Meanwhile, a book of condolence opened in tribute to the British hostage has been stolen, the BBC reported. Thieves also took a framed photograph of him, candles and some sympathy cards from Birmingham Central Mosque.
The book, believed to have gone on Saturday, was expected to go to Bigley's family to show the mainstream Muslim community's condemnation of his death.
In the meantime, a Turkish contractor and an Iraqi Kurdish translator were beheaded on a video posted Monday, and a statement said they had been taken captive by the Ansar al-Sunnah Army.
On Tuesday, Turkey's foreign minister said that 10 Turkish hostages, who had been freed by kidnappers, had arrived at the Turkish embassy in Baghdad. (Albawaba.com)
