BAGHDAD, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Iraqi rebels released a video on Wednesday showing what they said were 20 Iraqi national guards they had captured in the rebel city of Falluja.

The video, a copy of which was given to Reuters, showed masked rebels pointing rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers at a group of men with their backs to the camera wearing National Guard uniforms.

The video could not be immediately authenticated.

"The resistance and mujahideen in the City of Mosques were able to capture more than 20 people of the so-called National Guard that helped the occupation forces," a masked insurgent read from a statement.

What's the betting that the media will conveniently forget this point
when the bodies are found?
