The news channel broadcast a video that Sunni extremists had placed on the Internet in which the abducted men appeared in their uniforms.

In a written message accompanying the video, the group said that members of the security forces would be killed if the government did not release all Sunni women held in Iraqi prisons within 72 hours.

The terrorist group had given similar ultimatum in earlier abductions of police and soldiers. The victims were all previously killed.
