On 22 October 2004, a video was posted on the website of the Army of Ansar Al-Sunna, apparently showed the beheading of Kanaan.
[1] Kanaan was shown in a picture surrounded by the three hooded gunmen with a banner of the Army of Ansar Al-Sunna in the background.
The gunman said the purported spy worked at a US base in Mosul airport and "was known for his allegiance to the Americans and his hatred for the mujahedeen."
He had "publicly insulted (Islam's) Prophet Mohammed...We tell people like him: the door of repentance is open...
[citation needed] He then warned that "The mujahedeen will catch those who persist in working with US forces, and settle for nothing less than beheading them."
