A sign seen in Little Egg harbor, New Jersey June 18, 2004, as a reminder of American hostage Paul Johnson, who, a U.S. official on Friday confirmed, was beheaded by al Qaeda members who took him hostage in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia denounced al Qaeda's beheading of Johnson, Friday as an "inhumane crime" and urged the Saudi government to hunt down his killers and other militants of Osama bin Laden's group.
