One of five Britons kidnapped in Iraq last year has committed suicide, according to Shiite rebels holding the five. Or, this was what they were reporting yesterday in a video statement, which did not include any footage showing the (presumed) dead man, whose suicide allegedly took place in May. If this suicide report is true, it is devastating news for the victim’s family. However, false reports of hostages being killed have surfaced in previous cases, and sometimes are used to force negotiations. Let us pray that the latter is the case here.
