Iraq Group Claims al-Qaida Links, Attacks

Sun Jul 13, 6:13 PM ET

CAIRO, Egypt - A group claiming to be an Iraqi branch of al-Qaida said
it--and not Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)--is behind recent attacks
on U.S. forces, according to a videotape aired on an Arab TV station
Sunday. The tape couldn't be immediately verified.

Al-Arabiya, a satellite station based in Dubai, aired the 4-minute video
showing a black-and-white still photograph of an unidentified man dressed
like an Islamic cleric in a robe and white turban. He has a long white
beard, also typical of Islamic clerics.

A distorted male voice reads a message warning American forces to "leave
Iraq (news - web sites)'s territories and to live up to their promises."

The voice describes himself as a member of the "Islamic Armed Group of
al-Qaida, Fallujah branch." He says his group is behind the attacks
against U.S. forces in Iraq.

"By God, not one of (Saddam's) followers carried out any of the Jihadi
(holy war) operations like he claims," the voice said, saying "our
Mujahedeen brothers" did instead.

Transcript: President Clinton explains Iraq strike
CLINTON: "Good evening.

Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike
military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by
British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear,
chemical and biological weapons programs and its military
capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the
United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout
the Middle East and around the world.

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors
or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons."

Sounds like you, just like Bush & Co, have yet to figure out that terrorism
is comprised as much of the psychological warfare of creating lies,
deceptions, and uncertainty as of actual attacks. If you believe every
claim thrown out you are just all the more the fool dividing your energies
and resources chasing BS. Everytime the US goes into a higher alert status
straining police resources, personnel, taxes, etc the terrorists take
another round. Bush has given them a bigger stage and greater attention
than they could sustain on their own.
As for Al Quaeda being in Iraq if such a thing is true it is just as
millions of US tried to tell Bush & Co: invading and occupying Iraq would be
the surest way of driving the Iraqi people into the arms of the terrorists.
The actions Bush has taken since 9/11 have cost and will continue to
cost the US far more than that attack did.
