Breaking: al-Qaeda in Iraq are Murdering Iraqis

No kidding? Ya think?

CNN reports on last years attempt by al-Qaeda to stop the al-Anbar awakening using al-Qaeda's one and only means, murder.

BALAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Video provided to CNN shows an al Qaeda in Iraq firing squad executing one-time allies -- fellow Sunni extremists -- who were not loyal enough to the terror organization, coalition military analysts said.

In the video provided by coalition military officials, armed men wearing masks are shown standing behind nine kneeling men, all of whom are wearing blindfolds or hoods with their hands presumably tied behind their backs. The video shows the men being executed.

"Al Qaeda in Iraq, which is foreign led and foreign dominated here inside Iraq, is killing off other Sunni groups that are certainly not supportive of the government of Iraq, currently, or of the foreign occupation, but are not sharing the same ideology that al Qaeda in Iraq has," Rear Adm. Gregory Smith said.

The video was recovered late last year during a raid on a compound near Samarra that was being used for killing and torture, a coalition official said.

The Jawa report ran a series of posts on the subject from April till September 2007. Then a major media cell responsible for al-Furqan's snuff propaganda was captured and the snuff films stopped. Except for the one mentioned in the CNN article. My records show that The Jawa report obtained this particular video on 11/26/07. It is possible that al-Furqan was able to release or share the video with another media cell before the first cell was captured.

What this series of posts show is that no matter who you are, If you disagree with anything al-Qaeda in Iraq or their shadow government say, you are next on the list to be murdered.

Contrary to al-Qaeda's propaganda, they did not come to Iraq to aid the Iraqis against the infidel occupiers. They came to Iraq to set up a Taliban like state in the midst of Iraq and rule over the Iraqis living there. A goal that Iraqis are now overwhelmingly rejecting.

I have the relevant links and an uncut copy of the original video below the fold.
