Two Iraqi intelligence officers ‘beheaded’ on website video

THE beheading of two Iraqi intelligence officers by their kidnappers appeared in a video on an Islamic website yesterday.

The 10-minute tape showed two Iraqi men, Fadhel Ibrahim and Firas Imeil, identifying themselves as Iraqi National Intelligence officers and saying they were captured in Baghdad’s Haifa Street on September 28.

In separate scenes, the tape showed four masked gunmen standing behind Ibrahim and then Imeil, with one militant describing the captives as “criminals” and mentioning the recent US led attacks against militants in the Iraqi city of Samarra.
