Al-Jazeera broadcasts claim that militants executed US soldier

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) – Al-Jazeera television said earlier today that Iraqi militants executed an American soldier because the US government did not change its policy in Iraq.

There was no immediate comment from US officials.

Pfc Keith M Maupin of Batavia, Ohio, was captured in April during an ambush on a convoy west of Baghdad.

The Arab satellite station aired video showing a blindfolded man sitting on the ground but did not show the killing. The station said the militants shot him.
