DUBAI, March 8 (Reuters) - An Iranian Sunni Muslim rebel group said it kidnapped four Revolutionary Guards and issued a video purportedly showing the hostages, Al Arabiya television reported on Thursday.

The video from the group called Jundollah (God's soldiers) showed the four young men, one of them wearing a military uniform, sitting on the floor while two masked, armed militants stood behind them.

"In an ... audio tape issued with the video, a spokesman for the movement said the hostages were an officer and three soldiers of the Revolutionary Guards," the Dubai-based television said. "The spokesman denied the group was linked to al Qaeda, Taliban or U.S. intelligence."

Last month, Iran hanged a man convicted of involvement in a bomb attack on a Revolutionary Guards bus that killed 11 people in the southeast of the country, one of several attacks claimed by Jundollah in the past few years.
