Video shows beheading of two men alleged to be U.S. spies

[ECH1969]

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A video showing two Iraqi men being beheaded for allegedly spying for the United States was posted on a militant Islamic Web site Wednesday, and the Ansar al-Sunnah Army claimed it had carried out the executions.

The victims, lying face down, were blindfolded with a strip of white cloth and had their hands tied behind their backs as a man standing off camera cut through their necks one by one, decapitating both men.

They identified themselves in earlier scenes on the video as Shaker Mahmoud Jassim who lived in the Dora neighborhood of south Baghdad. He wore a white Arab robe and appeared to be in his mid-40s.

"I call on everyone who works with the Jews and the Americans to repent to God and leave this job," Jassim said on instructions from two men who asked him questions off camera.

1. I figured it was time for some publicized beheadings to begin again.

bushco is too damn predictable. Just in time for bush's terra terra speech tomorrow.

2. Yeah, and why have them "off camera".

This is so staged.

8. I agree

It seems totally staged, probably by the U.S. military. Support for this war is slipping each day to the point where Bushco is going to hit 30% job approval ratings soon. That have to do SOMETHING to garnish support.

I suspect then we can look forward to bombings here in America to rally support for more U.S. sponsored murder in the Middle East. At that point all we can say is, "I told you so". I just hope the sheeple finally see this government for what it is before we get to that point.

3. "We have become slaves to money,"--seems plausible to me.

....Abdullah said he helped the Americans with information about a group of Saudi insurgents and was paid $50,000 plus a monthly salary of $600. He said he also gave information on a group of insurgents who had infiltrated the Iraqi police.

"We have become slaves to money," he said before he was taken outside and decapitated. As his head was placed on his back, the camera panned to a sign that read in Arabic: "Go to hell, this is a revenge for our brothers" was shown.

Ansar al-Sunnah has previously claimed responsibility for a number of car bombings and attacks on U.S troops, foreign civilians and Iraqis that the group termed American "collaborators."

Dora is a densely populated neighborhood that serves as a stronghold for several insurgent groups.
