On May 11, 2004, the website of the [[Islamist]] forum Muntada al-Ansar reposted a video titled "Sheikh [[Abu Musab al-Zarqawi]] slaughters an American",<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/12/world/struggle-for-iraq-revenge-killing-iraq-tape-shows-decapitation-american.html|title=THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: REVENGE KILLING; IRAQ TAPE SHOWS THE DECAPITATION OF AN AMERICAN|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=2016-07-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Filkins |first=Dexter |date=2004-05-12 |title=Iraq Videotape Shows the Decapitation of an American |language=en-US |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/12/international/middleeast/iraq-videotape-shows-the-decapitation-of-an.html |access-date=2023-01-20 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> which shows American citizen [[Nick Berg]] being decapitated.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2004-05-29 |title=Who killed Nick Berg? |url=https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle-east/who-killed-nick-berg-20040529-gdj0tj.html |access-date=2022-12-29 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2004-05-13 |title='Zarqawi' beheaded US man in Iraq |language=en-GB |work=[[BBC News]] |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3712421.stm |access-date=2023-01-20}}</ref>

The web page, on a site located in [[Malaysia]], was then shut down a few days after by the domain provider.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cha |first=Ariana Eunjung |date=2004-10-04 |title=TERRORISTS USE WEB INGENUITY TO DISSEMINATE MESSAGE OF HATE |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2004-10-04-0410040086-story.html |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=[[Sun-Sentinel]] |issn=0744-8139}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2004-05-14 |title=Malaysia to bar terrorist Web sites |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna4976740 |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=[[NBC News]] |language=en}}</ref>

It is unclear whether al-Zarqawi is one of the men in the video. Both al-Zarqawi and Muntada al-Ansar are associated with the [[Al-Qaeda]] movement.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Cuomo |first1=Chris |last2=Mcniff |first2=Eamon |date=2006-06-09 |title=The Men in the Shadows -- Hunting al-Zarqawi |url=https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Terrorism/story?id=2056386&page=1 |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
