Terrorist thugs have appeared yet again on Al Jazeera in a familiar tableau: A hostage in an orange jumpsuit kneels before three masked gunmen. The threat? Same as always. Get out of Iraq, or this guy loses his head.

In the video broadcast by Al-Jazeera television, the group claimed to have already killed an Iraqi security guard who was accompanying the Filipino, the newscaster said. The statement gave no details of his capture.

Three armed and masked men stood behind the seated hostage, threatening to kill him if the Philippines doesn't pull out within three days. A banner on the wall behind them identified the captors as a previously unknown group, the Iraqi Islamic Army-Khaled bin al-Waleed Corps.

Thursday, the Philippines government suspended further deployment of Filipinos to Iraq. Philippines officials did not provide details but said the Cabinet would meet later in the day to discuss the situation.

Yeah. Right. She caved. Which means we'll see more of this kind of crap.
