DUBAI, May 10 (Reuters) - The self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, an al Qaeda-led militant group, posted a video showing the killing of nine abducted police and army officers, after an ultimatum it gave to the Iraqi government expired.

The footage posted on the Internet showed a militant shoot them in the head with a pistol as they kneeled in an open field. The group had demanded that the government surrender within 72 hours officers involved in the suspected rape of a Sunni Muslim woman, among other demands.

2. Video shows killings of 9 seized Iraqis
Source: Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt - An al-Qaida front organization posted a video Thursday showing the killings of nine Iraqi security officers who were lined up blindfolded with their hands bound behind them and shot in the back of the head.

The Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group of Iraqi insurgents including al-Qaida, had issued a video on Tuesday threatening to kill the men unless the government responded within 72 hours to their demands, including the release of all Sunni Muslim women from Iraqi prisons and the handover "of those who raped the Iraqi woman and killed our brethren in Tal Afar."

"As the deadline given by the Islamic State of Iraq ended, the jurisdiction court decided to execute God's verdict against those apostates," a statement posted with the video read.

The grisly video showed the deaths of five army officers and four police officers at the hands of a masked militant dressed in black, who was accompanied by two similarly attired colleagues. The bodies were shown on the ground afterward.
