Syrian, Chechen nationals were behind Baghdad booms
They are no doubt fighting to free Iraq from foreigners ...TWO of the suicide bombers who staged attacks in Baghdad during the Iraqi election were Syrian and Chechen, an interior ministry source said today. The source also said some attackers had been detained during the day. "We have arrested some people, but I cannot give figures or nationalities." Several suicide bomb attacks, most by individuals who carried belts packed with explosives toward polling stations and other targets, were carried out during the election. The group of Iraq's al-Qaeda frontman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed overnight it had carried out 13 suicide attacks to "spoil the party". The Internet statement could not be independently verified.
