Video claims responsibility for killings

An Iraqi militant group has claimed responsibility in a website video that surfaced today for the killing of two American contractors, showing dark images of passports and other documents in their names.

Joseph Wemple, a builder from Orlando, Florida, and his boss, Dale Stoffel, vice president for international development for CLI USA, died in an ambush on December 8 outside Baghdad. CLI USA is a Pennsylvania-based engineering-construction contractor.
