Iraq Qaeda says kills kidnapped colonel
Al Qaeda's wing in Iraq said it had shot dead a senior Interior Ministry official kidnapped last month, and posted a video of the apparent killing on the Internet on Sunday.
"I worked at the Interior Ministry and cooperated with American forces by giving them names and addresses of former army officers," the man said. A ministry card shown on the video identified him as a liaison officer.
On the tape, he also said there was widespread torture of prisoners, including women, at the ministry.
A militant was later shown shooting the man in the head after reading a statement saying he had been condemned to death by the group's own Islamic court as "an apostate fighting God and his Prophet (Mohammad)."
The group, headed by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has claimed responsibility for some of the bloodiest suicide bombings and attacks against U.S. troops and Iraq's fledgling security forces. |
