Army of Ansar al-Sunnah Murders 7 on Video (Images)
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesIf it weren't such a tragedy that innocent hardworking Iraqis were being murdered by these Army of Ansar al-Sunnah nut cases, we should put them on the payroll for convincing Iraqis to support democracy. These guys are for the most part Sunnis that just can't stand not being able to slaughter folks that they disagree with and have the blessings of a dictator to support them, so they want to make life miserable for everyone else in Iraq.

The Army of Ansar al-Sunnah has posted a video of the murder of seven Iraqis. Images and links to the video are posted below.
In a statement released Saturday, the group claimed that the seven had been captured in a raid near Abu Ghraib. The victims were called "apostates" and forced to confess to the "crime" of cooperating with American forces.
The video shows several clips which have been edited together. The first two clips show two different groups of men 'confessing'. Three are dressed in civilian clothes while the second four are in military fatigues. Next the video shows three men being gunned down by two men with AK-47s. A second murder scene follows. All the victims lay in the dirt, face down, and are shot in the back. The last clip shows a single individual being shot at for a lengthy period of time as the shooter misses over and over.

And just what is the Ansar Al-Sunnah Army?
Ansar Al-Sunnah Army is an Islamic salafist and Sunni group that announced its establishment five months after the occupation of Iraq. It is a combination of Islamic groups that are opposed to the US occupation of Iraq. All these factions and individuals merged into one Islamic group called Ansar Al-Sunnah Army to distinguish itself from the Shiite "Al-Mahdi Army," which was established by Muqtada al-Sadr, and other Shiite movements. Ansar Al-Sunnah Army is a purely Sunni group that has no relationship with the Shiites in Iraq. Its tenets are clear in the statements it issues. Abu-Abdallah al-Hasan Bin-Mahmud, the amir of Ansar Al-Sunnah Army, underlined the following points:
The reason behind the establishment of Ansar Al-Sunnah Army
In its first statement to the press on 20 September 2003, Ansar Al-Sunnah Army said: "It is known that jihad in Iraq has become an individual duty of every Muslim after the atheist enemy assailed the territory of Islam.
Those who raise the banner of the blessed jihad are the Sunnis, the
Ansar Al-Sunnah Army, and the proponents of tawhid (Islamic concept of
monotheism) and Al-Salafiyah. They took action all by themselves and
moved into groups, each from their own territory. They derive their
jihadist program and orders from the holy Koran and the Sunnah of the
Prophet" (his sayings and doings).
