New Slaughter Video Courtesy of the al-Qaida Of IraqBy Sanjay Sharma, Section News
January 01, 2005: Al-Qaida's arm in Iraq issued a video showing militants executing five Iraqi security officers in the street, the latest move in their campaign to intimidate Iraqis ahead of the national elections scheduled for January 30, 2005. A statement posted Saturday on an Islamist Web site along with the video denounced the officers as "American dogs" and threatened other Iraqis with the same fate if they join security forces.
The insurgents' video and the statement were issued by al-Qaida in Iraq, the group led by Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Separate photos of the executions indicated they occurred in the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, on December 26, 2004. One of five masked gunmen behind the doomed men reads a statement describing them as a "bunch of apostates" who came to Ramadi to support "the apostate Allawi government and help the unjust American enemy." "As usual, jihadists have no mercy when it comes to such infidel souls," he says. The video then shows the men being shot in the back. After they fall to the ground, the gunmen kick them, apparently to see if any survived, then pump more bullets into them.
