Further raising suspicions that the video was meant to inflame sectarian tensions, Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim Khalaf said, is that the detained guard is an employee of the prison's directorate under the Justice Ministry -- which is led by a Sunni.
Justice Minister Hashim al-Shibli is a member of the Iraq National Accord, led by former prime minister Ayad Allawi, who has been very critical of al-Maliki's government and what he has described on several occasions as its "sectarian bent."
Allawi has threatened to pull out his ministers from the government in the past.
CNN is attempting to contact al-Shibli, who left Iraq for Amman, Jordan, on Thursday before the execution and is expected to return on Sunday.
