Followers of Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, have executed an Egyptian and two Iraqi drivers on a street in broad daylight, according to videos shown on a website. A first video showed a man identified as Ibrahim Mohammed Ismail, born 1966, on his knees, handcuffed and blindfolded on a street before a masked man shot him in the head. Ismail was shown earlier saying he worked for a Kuwaiti company identified as Al-Shallahi, which provides US forces with drinking water, and urging his compatriots not to come to Iraq or work for the Americans. A second video showed the execution of two Iraqis. Don't come to Ramadi, the city of the mujahedeen, otherwise you will be killed," the two men could be heard saying. They were then taken to a road, probably in the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Ramadi, blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs, and beheaded in public.
