Al-Qaeda kills Briton, Swede in Iraq
 The Al-Qaeda linked Army of Ansar al-Sunna claimed it had murdered a Briton and a Swede in Iraq, in a statement post on an Islamist website. The Army of Ansar al-Sunna "kidnapped two agents ... working for an intelligence service of the infidel forces in the region of Beiji" and executed them, said the statement, whose authenticity could not be verified. A British employee of a private security firm was killed Wednesday in an ambush in central Iraq, according to his company. The man, who was not identified, was killed along with an Iraqi colleague as they travelled in a convoy near a power station complex, while another foreign national was missing, it said. A US military official said the attack took place south of Beiji, an oil-refining city north of Baghdad. Posted by: Dan Darling 2005-01-21 |
