Admiral: Al Qaeda in Iraq 'killing off' former allies
* Story Highlights
* Admiral: Al Qaeda in Iraq targeting Sunnis who
oppose government, U.S. presence
* Documents found in torture chamber support
coalition claims, analysts say
* One document shows groups uniting against U.S.,
vowing not to attack civilians
* Officials: U.S. has paid Sunnis and some Shiites
$148 million to help fight militants
BALAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Video provided to CNN shows an al
Qaeda in Iraq firing squad executing one-time allies
-- fellow Sunni extremists -- who were not loyal
enough to the terror organization, coalition military
analysts said.
In the video provided by coalition military officials,
armed men wearing masks are shown standing behind nine
kneeling men, all of whom are wearing blindfolds or
hoods with their hands presumably tied behind their
backs. The video shows the men being executed.
"Al Qaeda in Iraq, which is foreign led and foreign
dominated here inside Iraq, is killing off other Sunni
groups that are certainly not supportive of the
government of Iraq, currently, or of the foreign
occupation, but are not sharing the same ideology that
al Qaeda in Iraq has," Rear Adm. Gregory Smith said.
The video was recovered late last year during a raid
on a compound near Samarra that was being used for
killing and torture, a coalition official said.
A number of documents -- some found in the same raid
-- bolster the coalition notion that al Qaeda in Iraq
is waging a violent campaign against its former
allies, intelligence analysts said.
Samarra is the site of a February 2006 attack on
al-Askariya Mosque, revered by Shiites. The attack set
off a wave of sectarian violence between Shiites and
Sunnis, who were suspected of perpetrating the attack.
The northern Iraqi city lies in Salaheddin province,
one of four provinces where coalition forces have
beefed up operations against Sunni militants.
Coalition officials say the documents are indicative
of a deep rift among the militant groups fighting
coalition forces. Al Qaeda in Iraq "would like nothing
more than to aggravate the situation," Smith said last
week.
Al Qaeda in Iraq has a history of documenting its
actions, the analysts said.
One document found in the Samarra raid shows the
execution of a woman believed to have helped Iraqi
police. Another describes the murders of 12 men who al
Qaeda in Iraq felt were not sufficiently loyal.
In another document, al Qaeda in Iraq criticizes
jihadist groups that it says are following "a false
path," according to the analysts.
The analysts said one document also describes the
stance of six Sunni splinter groups being targeted by
al Qaeda in Iraq. The document, signed by leaders of
the groups, outlines their opposition to the U.S.
presence in Iraq but includes a pledge to avoid
attacks on civilians.
Coalition officials said the documents and video may
reflect a move toward reconciliation among some Sunni
factions.
In recent months, the U.S. has paid Sunnis and some
Shiites $148 million to help fight extremists,
military officials said. These groups have taken on
many monikers, including Awakening Councils, Concerned
Local Citizens and Sons of Iraq.
Coalition officials said they are trying to determine
whether the documents found last year are a reason to
expand efforts to bring more Sunnis into the fight
against al Qaeda in Iraq.
