Video made by Foreign Terrorists of Foreign Terrorists in Iraq

Foreign Muslim militants from across the Arab world have appeared in a chilling video tape which claimed they carried out some of the bloodiest bombings in Iraq (news - web sites) since the war ended.... The U.S. military and senior Iraqi officials have said for months that foreign fighters have played a major role in bombings and shootings that have killed thousands of people and destabilized the country.
[but many Iraqis are in denial on this because "how could muslims do such things"].
.... In the video, Muslim militants in headdresses clutching rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles stand in the desert late at night as one of their ranks engages in what appears to be a pre-suicide bombing ritual. He reads a statement telling his father, mother, brother and loved ones that he will miss them after he performs his duty to wage holy war. Abu Harith al-Dosari, whose accent sounded
[surprize]
Saudi, then climbs up into a large fuel truck and points to a electric cord that he will use to detonate a large bomb. Footage then shows him driving to Baghdad’s Kathimiya bridge, where the truck explodes into huge balls of fire. The video shows several young Muslim militants uttering their final words before carrying out major operations such as last year’s massive truck bomb attack on United Nations headquarters in Baghdad that killed 22 people... Some footage showed explosions while other parts just showed maps or the targets. The video showed Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with his face sunk in his hands after last year’s car bombing killed 19 Italians and nine Iraqis in the city of Nassiriya. It said an Egyptian identified as Abu Fareed who had lived in Italy carried out the bombing after killing Christians in Egypt first....

Key thing here is whether more Iraqis start believing that foreiger Arabs are responsible.
