11 Iraqi troops executed as US soldier killed

An Iraqi group said on its Web site Thursday that it had executed 11 Iraqi troops taken hostage south of Baghdad and posted video of the bound men being shot or beheaded. According to The AP, the Ansar al-Sunnah Army said it had beheaded one and shot the 10 others. "After investigating with them and (hearing) their confessions, it turned out this group was responsible for guarding the Crusader American troops in Radwaniya area and what's around it in southern Baghdad," a statement posted on the web site said.
