Iraqi militant group Army of Ansar al-Sunna said it shot dead seven abducted Iraqi National Guards and posted an Internet video of the killings today.
The group said on its Web site that the seven had been captured in an attack on an Iraqi police convoy in the Abu Ghraib area near Baghdad this week.
The Ansar al-Sunna video showed the seven hostages being interrogated by an off-camera militant as they sat on the floor with their hands bound behind their backs.
The men were later shown being shot as they kneeled outdoors with their eyes bound. "You should not cooperate with the new Iraqi government," one of the men said on the video, dated February 4 th.
