Sunni leaders who have revolted against Al Qaida have been targeted for attacks for some time now and it seems Al Qaida is also attacking the low level people. I believe that the more Al Qaida engages in murder, the less suppport it will have in Iraq.
Admiral: Al Qaeda in Iraq 'killing off' former allies
updated 4:52 p.m. EST, Mon February 18, 2008
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.
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.
