An American hostage, a 49-year-old Lokheed engineer, is beheaded by an Al Qaeda group. The mutilated body, with the head propped up on its back and a knife stuck in one eye, is posted online by the Al Qaeda cell. A shootout while trying to dispose of the body kills four terrorists and two Saudi agents. Twelve terrorists are captured, including a Khobar attacker and a USS Cole attacker.
