The claim was made in a new video
recording released today by the Islamic State In Iraq.
An unidentified voice made the claim on the video, which was
made available to Western news agencies by the Washington-based
Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Institute.
The video does not offer any proof that the soldiers were killed
and does not show them......

Rhodes sees a shred of camouflage in the bushes, and his heart leaps.
