A German man has been beheaded by Abu Sayyaf militants in the southern Philippines after a deadline to pay his ransom passed. It was the second time Kantner, 70, had been abducted. He was held along with his partner, Sabine Merz, by Somali pirates for nearly two months in 2008. A video posted by the Philippines-based Islamist extremist group Abu Sayyaf and distributed by SITE Intelligence Group identifies the man as Jurgen Kantner, who has been held captive since November.
A German official said the government was still checking the video's authenticity. His decline to pay the Ransom caused it. He has been kidnapped before in those areas.
