Twenty-nine-year-old Makasan Halee sits cross-legged on the bare concrete floor of his family home and vows vengeance against his father's killers. "I am so angry now that I will kill to defend my family and my faith," says Makasan. "I want revenge." Crowded around him in the front room of his modest house last Thursday are a couple of dozen grieving, enraged relatives and friends.

A second video, sent to al-Jazeera the next day but never aired, recorded an execution: one of the four hostages, Fabrizio Quattrocchi, shouted, "I'll show you how an Italian dies," just before he was shot through the neck...
...shaking the rain from our umbrellas and asking, with just a hint of excitement, for directions to Room 41. Deep in the belly of the gallery, beyond the Lucian Freuds and the Cecil Beatons, Room 41 sits hushed and darkened. I join 11 visitors curled cross-legged on the floor, gazing at a 1-m-wide plasma screen where a shirtless blond man lies sleeping: David Beckham, of course. Who else would it be? I settle into a corner and take a moment to get in the mood. David, Sam Taylor-Wood's 67-minute video of the slumbering football...
