Al Qaida in Iraq said in a Web posting that it killed Egypt's top envoy in Iraq, posting a video on Thursday of the blindfolded diplomat, identifying himself.

''We announce in the al Qaida in Iraq that the verdict of God against the ambassador of the infidels, the Ambassador of Egypt, has been carried out. Thank God,'' a written statement in the Web posting said.

The claim's authenticity could not immediately be confirmed.
