A militant Iraqi group said it had beheaded a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) who it described as a "spy" working as a translator for the U.S. army, according to an Internet statement.

The Army of Ansar al-Sunna said in a statement dated October 11 on its Web site that it had "enforced God's law by slaughtering the apostate" Luqman Hussein Mohammed whom the group earlier said it abducted on October 5 in the western city of Ramadi.

The site carried pictures of two masked gunmen standing next to the hostage. The site also posted links to a video tape of the apparent beheading but it was not possible to access them.

"He (the hostage) admitted to participating in raids and the arrest of our women, children and elders in Ramadi by crusader forces and helping question those arrested," said the statement.

Last month the group posted a video tape of the apparent beheading of what it said were three members of the KDP, one of two main Kurdish groups represented in Iraq's interim government.

Tuesday, Army of Ansar al-Sunna said it had beheaded an Iraqi Shi'ite and follower of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr because he had been "spying" for U.S. forces.
