DUBAI, Nov 24 (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-led
group said on Saturday it had killed nine Iraqi
officers and posted an Internet video showing
masked militants shooting the kneeling men in
the head.

"I belonged to the Maghawir (interior ministry
commandos). I urge anyone else working with
them to leave and repent to God," said one of
the men shown in the video, as they sat on a
floor in front of the black flag of the self-
styled Islamic State in Iraq. Others made
similar "confessions".

The insurgent group said the men had been
captured in Salahuddin province north of the
capital Baghdad during a recent attack there
by U.S. and Iraqi government forces.

Just how many members does al-Qaeda of Iraq have? According to Wikipedia, "850 to several thousand", out of 24 million. A tiny piece of the puzzle.
