DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Jazeera television showed identity cards and video footage on Monday of what appeared to be two Pakistanis held in Iraq at the weekend by a group which threatened to kill them.
"We did investigations with the Pakistanis and issued a death penalty because of firm evidence (against them)," said a statement from the group calling itself the Islamic Army in Iraq, which was read out on the channel.
The video showed identity cards with pictures and footage of the two and an Iraqi captured with them. The three were speaking but their words could not be made out from the broadcast.
One of the identity cards clearly displayed the name "Sajad Naeem."
The video also showed a souvenir photograph of both Pakistanis with Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, former deputy director of operations for the U.S. military in Iraq.
