Sep 2013

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Vatican updated the acount. The priest was shot with multiple bullets and not beheaded.It now appears those reports, owing to the nature of the conflict in Syria, were correct except that the attendant video may not depict the martyrdom of the friar after all. Instead, the video appears to show that another cleric, as yet precisely unidentified, was brutally murdered.

I didn't click on the link to the video as I don't care to see a man getting his head cut off.
