"West Chester, Pennsylvania - The father of an American contractor whose beheading was shown on an Islamic militant website lashed out at the US military and Bush administration, saying his son might still be alive had he not been detained by US officials in Iraq.
The video showed Nick Berg, 26, slain by an al-Qaeda-affiliated group.
Berg spoke to his parents on March 24 and told them he would return home on March 30. But he was detained by Iraqi police at a checkpoint in Mosul on March 24.
Berg was turned over to US officials and detained for 13 days. His father, Michael, said his son wasn't allowed to make phone calls or contact a lawyer. "
