A MILITANT group killed two US intelligence agents in Iraq on December 8, according to a video released on an Islamist website today.
The video shows two armed and masked men reading a statement announcing the deaths of the two men near Taji, north of Baghdad, described as "two members of the Pentagon and the CIA''.
The footage from the Saraya al-Jihad Al-Islami group shows various photos and official documents belonging to the two men, one of whom is named as Joseph James Wemple.
The statement said that "fighters attacked the vehicles (carrying the two men), killed them and took their weapons as well as archaeological artefacts belonging to (Mesopotamian) heritage and secret documents''.
One of about 20 photos shown in the video showed Mr Wemple alongside US President George W Bush.
A US newspaper reported earlier this month that Mr Wemple, a 49-year-old project manager for a US engineering-construction contractor, and colleague Dale Stoffel were killed in an ambush as they left Taji base on December 8.
The Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported that Mr Wemple was a longtime manager of Disney World building projects who went to Iraq in April.
"Mr Wemple was a longtime manager of Disney World building projects who went to Iraq in April."
Islam opposed to Disney, pass it on.
