DUBAI, June 6 (Reuters) - A key Sunni Muslim insurgent group
in Iraq said on Wednesday its members had carried out the
assassination of the local chief of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada
al-Sadr's political movement in a town south of Baghdad.

Iraqi police announced on Tuesday that gunmen had shot dead
Abdul Raheem Nayef in Jbela, 65 km (40 miles) south of Baghdad.

"This apostate was one of the biggest and most hateful enemies
of the mujahideen and Sunnis. He had openly fought the unarmed
and (Sunni) Muslims," Ansar al-Sunna said in a statement posted
on the Internet.
