CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A group claiming to be an Iraqi branch of al-Qaida said it - and not Saddam Hussein - 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'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.
The voice promised more attacks: "The coming days ... will show you the strike that will break America's back."
The claim is the first by a purported Iraqi group linking itself to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.
The U.S. Central Command said it could not comment on the tape.
"I'm aware of tape via media reports, but I have no comment as to the authenticity of it or the group that claims responsibility," Centcom spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nick Balice said in Tampa, Fla.
An executive from the station had no details on the man pictured in the video, which was delivered recently to the station's Baghdad office.
U.S. forces in Iraq have been targeted daily by ambushes, and dozens have died, including in Fallujah, an especially restive city west of Baghdad.

Notice he said, "...not one of Saddam's followers..." which indicates he isn't either. He's a follower of the Mujahadeen, an Afghani terrorist group.
Nice try dude, but STILL no link to an Iraqi/ bin Laden connection. He may be an Iraqi, but not a Hussein supporter.

Nice try dude, but STILL no link to an Iraqi/ bin Laden connection. Not a terrorist group at all. Mujahideen are Muslim Fighters. Not all are terrorist they are just fighters who go to places as an act of jihad and fight for what they believe. For example Chechnya. A lot of Muslims traveled from America to fight against the Russians in Chechnya. I'd say that going to a foreign country to protect your fellow muslim people from being slaughtered is far from terrorist.

The total lack of logic and complete reliance on emotion of the left would be funny, if it didn't so often influence public policy. :confused:

Public policy these days is dominated by the Reich-Wing Repugnicant party. Do you REALLY think any Liberal has any influence in the Commander-In-Thief's White House? When pig_flyi they will.

You know, I really thought I would give you the benefit of the doubt and not let your political beliefs interfere with the fact that you could possibly still be an intelligent human being. BUT MY GOD MAN!!
Nuff Said...
