I can see why Al-Jazeera doesn't want to air this tape. RIP Fabrizio Quattrocchi.

Italian hostage defied killers

The Italian hostage killed by kidnappers in Iraq was a defiant hero in his final moments, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini says.

The dead man was identified as Fabrizio Quattrocchi, 36, a security guard.

As the gunman's pistol was pointing at him the hostage "tried to take off his hood and shouted: 'now I'll show you how an Italian dies,'" he said.

What a brave man.

I'd like to think if I were faced with impending death by the hands of sleazy Muslim terrorists, I'd be so brave. One thing I hope I will not do is beg for my life. Pride rears its head even when facing death!
