from "Resignation call over Iraq murder; Monday, 17 May, 2004, BBC News UK "

The father of a US man whose murder in Iraq was videotaped has blamed the US defence secretary for his son's death. Michael Berg said he held Washington responsible, particularly Donald Rumsfeld, whom he said should resign.

Nick Berg's killers said they had offered to exchange him for inmates at Abu Ghraib prison, but the coalition authorities had, they said, refused.
