The report on the killing of the three Macedonians was confirmed on Friday by an expert team of the Macedonian government that examined a video tape of the Qatari Al Jazeera television showing the execution of the three Macedonians who were abducted near Baghdad on 21 August.
"I am deeply shaken by the report confirming the death of the three Macedonian citizens in Iraq. At these hard moments for You and Your people, I sincerely hope that this sad example will intensify the need for uniting the civilised world in the fight against violence and evil..." Sanader said among other things in his message.
