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

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.

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.

"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.

He spoke clearly and appeared calm during the questioning, before he was led outdoors. He was made to lie face down and his head was cut off and placed on his back.

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.

Wednesday's video was the first in several months to show a beheading.

"Is there any way we could just leave, let these ba$tards fight it out for a couple of years, and then we go back in and help them after they get sick of killing?"

That's the plan and it's going along right on schedule.

Decapitation is picnic, compared to being charged as a US spy by Saddam and being stuffed feet first into a huge meat grinder or slowly dipped in an acid bath.

Is the guy in that photo behind bars for aiding and abetting the enemy? If not, he sure should be.

My guess is that he isn't. This photo was posted on FR and taken at the protest on the 24th in D.C. If Media Benjamin and her ilk aren't behind bars for putting out a public statement supporting the insurgency my guess is that not a soul is going after this guy either.

Cindy Sheehan must be very proud of her "insurgent" friends.

When will the "leaders" of our country "get it?" They let Jane Fonda and her friends do it...

Quick, what's more disturbing- the message on the sign or the person holding it? Maybe he should crawl back in his mom's basement.

That would be the person holding it. What is even more disturbing is that idiots like this are never highlighted by the MSM. Protests are cleaned up for the general public just to give the impression that these protests reflect the overall populace. Hard to tell what is the most offensive out of the lot.

Of course, good point. That's why the celebs are shoved to the front of the line, for the cameras. Hmm, could also be why a lot of this protesters hide their faces under bandannas. Not because they don't want their identity known, but the pretty people insisted on them wearing it.

Like when you have coffee breath, and rather than tell you your mouth stinks, you friend just "randomly" asks if you want a piece of their gum.

Hooray for multiculturalism!!!!!!!!!! Let's hear it for moral equivalence!!!! After all, they are just showing their true feelings, and they are acting out in the only way they can.

We're no better than them. Who are we to judge?

Besides, there is no black and white--everything is a shade of grey.

Although I wonder what shade of grey the heads of these two human beings are...

You can also download the video here http://www.uploadtemple.com/view.php/1128515998.zip in .zip format.

Call me 'old fashioned' but I have a problem with sites like Ogrish that show beastiality porn and beheading videos on the same page.
