DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group said it had assassinated the chief of police in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil and threatened to kill Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani, according to an Internet statement posted on Sunday.



The Army of Ansar al-Sunna said in a statement posted on its Web site that it had killed Colonel Tah Ahmed on Saturday as a message to Barzani that "the hands of the mujahideen would soon reach him."


The statement said the group's fighters had ambushed Ahmed in Arbil and had "carried out God's law and killed the apostate."


There was no independent confirmation of the attack and the authenticity of the statement could not be verified.
