Poor guy. I hope S. Korea redoubles its troops. No kowtowing to these bastards. It gets you nothing.
Kim's body was found west of Baghdad by U.S. personnel at 5:20 p.m. Iraq time, South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil told Yonhap.
The South Korean embassy in Baghdad confirmed the body was Kim's by studying an e-mailed photograph, Shin said.
"It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news," he added.
Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, coalition deputy operations chief, said the body of an Asian male was found west of Baghdad on Tuesday evening.
"It appears that the body had been thrown from a vehicle," Kimmitt said in a statement. "The man had been beheaded, and the head was recovered with the body."
