Nick Berg: It just gets Stranger You would think the gruesome story of his death would be unique enough (unique in a very bad way of course), but its not. Let's look at the list of strange questions: 1. Who held him for two weeks as a prisoner? 2. Why was his father on a "Freepers" enemies list? 3. Why is the mysterious "kilroy" terrorist al-Zarqawi claimed to be involved? And now another, and the most bizarre coincidence of all... From CBS NEWS
But CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports on what is turning into a bizarre mystery with a connection to 9/11. U.S. officials say the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 after a computer password Berg used in college turned up in the possession of Zaccarias Moussaoui, the al Qaeda operative arrested shortly before 9/11 for his suspicious activity at a flight school in Minnesota. The bureau had already dismissed the connection between Berg and Moussaoui as nothing more than a college student who had been careless about protecting his password. But in the wake of Berg's gruesome murder, it becomes a stranger than fiction coincidence -- an American who inadvertently gave away his computer password to one notorious al Qaeda operative is later murdered by another notorious al Qaeda operative.
This is quickly becoming not only one of the most gruesome deaths ever recorded (just waiting for the return of "Faces of Death"), it is quickly becoming one of the most bizarre and mysterious.
