BASRA, Iraq An Iraqi intelligence officer kidnapped nearly a week ago has been found dead in the southern city of Basra, his body riddled with bullets.

Iraqi police say the operative was captured by an armed group protesting the fighting in the holy city of Najaf.

According to a video shown last Tuesday on the pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television station, a group calling itself the Defense of the Holy Sites Brigades threatened to kill the officer.

Basra's police commander says it's not clear if the group is behind the slaying.
