IRAQI militant group Army of Ansar al-Sunna said it killed what it called a drug dealer in the northern city of Mosul and posted a video of the shooting on its website today.The video showed a man standing in front of a banner bearing the group’s name and holding packets of pills in his hands.
“My name is Hussein Ali Hussein, also known as Hussein Haya, and I sell narcotics,” the man said before he was blindfolded and shot in the back of the head.
The Sunni Muslim group, which has claimed several attacks and kidnappings in Iraq, has said that the country should be governed by Islamic sharia law and blasted planned national elections this month as an “infidel” practice.æ
