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.
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.
The second victim said he was Riyadh Najim Abdullah. He was in his 20s, wore a blue and white track suit and lived in the same part of the capital.
Jassim said he worked as a spy for the U.S. Army and was paid $400 a month to report on insurgents. We have become slaves to money," he said before he was taken outside and decapitated.
