Iraq group says kills 3 "apostates"-Web video


DUBAI, April 26 (Reuters) - An Islamist militant group in Iraq said on Wednesday it had shot dead three "apostates" for cooperating with U.S. forces and posted an Internet video of their execution.

The footage from Army of Ansar al-Sunna showed three Arab looking men sitting on the ground outdoors and answering questions from an off-camera speaker.

A statement accompanying the recording said the video showed "the confessions of three apostates working in ... a company dealing with American forces that destroyed weapons and ammunition of the former Iraqi army".

"I'm Ammar Nasser ... I work with the Americans," said one man with long hair. The other two men made remarks in response to an off-camera speaker, but the audio was not clear.

The three men were later shown blindfolded then shot from the back by a man whose face did not appear in the video.
