In an article in the Arabic al-Jazeera (which I just read 2 days ago and I dismissed as the usual al-Jazeera nonsense) and the title of the article is: "Were Foley and Sotlof really beheaded" and the title of the article speaks volumes for the poor journalism of al-Jazeera and the conspiracy theories of the Middle East and here is an article from al-Arabiyya about this article

Now if you follow the link to al-Jazeera where the article is supposed to posted this is what we get
