DUBAI, June 14 (Reuters) - An Iraqi al Qaeda-led group
said on Thursday it had killed 14 Iraqi army and police
personnel after an ultimatum it gave to the Iraqi
government expired.

The Islamic State in Iraq posted a video on the Internet
showing a militant shooting the blindfolded men in the
head in an open field. Their hands were tied behind their
backs.

The authenticity of the tape could not be verified but
it was posted on a Web site used by Iraqi insurgents.

Iraq Interior Ministry: 25 bodies found in Baghdad streets Wednesday
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Iraq's Interior Ministry on Thursday said 25 slain, unidentified bodies were found on the streets of Baghdad Wednesday.

These killings -- which have been a daily occurrence since the first Al-Askariya Mosque attack in Samarra last year -- are thought to be the result of the Sunni-Shiite sectarian violence that flared up after that attack. That Shiite mosque was attacked again on Wednesday.

The slain bodies, found dumped across the capital, are usually bound, peppered with bullets, and tortured.
