Lebanon Militant Pledges Allegiance To Al-Qaeda
[Ynet] A Leb-based krazed killer pledged allegiance to an al-Qaeda-linked group Saturday, calling on Sunni Mohammedan soldiers to quit a Lebanese army he claimed is controlled by Christians and Shiites.Abu Sayyaf ...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder... ...a small group of Islamic bandidos that has been blamed for most of the country's worst terror attacks, kidnapping foreigners, and chopping people's heads off. They are allied with Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah, or what's left of it... al-Ansari made the pledge to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in a recording posted online and broadcast on major television stations, including leading private channel LBC, which said it obtained it from online jihadi forums.
