Iraqi militants execute 12 Nepalese construction workers.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Nancy A. Youssef
BAGHDAD, Iraq _ A militant Iraqi group has beheaded one Nepalese kidnap victim and executed 11 others with bullets to the backs of their heads, in the worst carnage to date after a slew of kidnappings of foreigners in Iraq.
The group, calling itself Jaish Ansar al Sunna, posted gruesome still images and video showing the killing on a Web site Tuesday.
In the tape, the group said the men were working for a Jordanian company in Iraq and said they killed them for working with the United States against Islam.
The killings, carried out apparently without the group issuing any demands or deadlines, are certain to further chill the atmosphere for foreigners working in the country.
Nepal's ambassador to Qatar, Somananda Suman, confirmed the deaths in an interview on al Jazeera television Tuesday night.
