A banner behind the men identified the group as the Khalid bin Waleed Corps of the Islamic Army in Iraq, named after an

early Islamic military leader who led a military campaign against Persians and Romans.

Armed resistance groups in Iraq have seized dozens of foreigners in recent weeks. One group has beheaded two captives, an American and a South Korean .

Aljazeera spokesperson Jihad Ballout said the channel received the tape on Wednesday.
