DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group has said it has killed 12 Nepali hostages and showed pictures of the
killings on an Islamist Web site.

"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalis who came from their country to fight the Muslims and
to serve the Jews and the Christians ... believing in Buddha as their God," the statement by the military committee of
the Army of Ansar al-Sunna said on Tuesday.

The group posted a series of pictures showing two masked men, one in camouflage, holding down a hostage. The
men then appeared to slit his throat and hold his severed head aloft.

Others pictures showed a group of men lying face-down, with what appeared to be bullet wounds in their back.
