A militant Palestinian group has declared that its first wave of volunteer suicide bombers has arrived in Iraq. Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad said in a statement that it "brings to our people and nation the good news of the arrival of its first martyrdom (attackers) to the heart of Baghdad." The group's mission is "to fulfil the holy duty of defending Arab and Muslim land," by attacking coalition troops, the statement said. Iraq has declared that more than 4,000 foreign Arab volunteers have come forward to fight and were ready to die if necessary.
