Now being reported by Al-Hura and Al-Arabiya. CNN and other western outlets are working to confirm this report. As of yet they cannot confirm it.

9. This is CNN.

I am watching it as we speak. I am also trying to get on Al-Iraqiya television. It's not working. Ten minutes ago they didn't have this on however, so the execution was not live.
