| Al Qaeda's wing in Iraq said on Tuesday it was behind a suicide car bomb attack that killed 125 people in the town of Hilla, according to a Web statement. "A lion from our martyrdom brigade plunged into a gathering of apostates in front of a police and National Guard registration center, blowing up his loaded car and killing 125 apostates," said the statement by Al Qaeda Organization for Holy War in Iraq, posted on an Islamist Web site. "The blood of the apostates was helping the Americans. They had sold their religion and their honor," it added. The claim for Monday's attack could not be verified, but was posted in the name of the user who usually disseminates statements by al Qaeda in Iraq. It appeared on the Islamist Web site most often used by Iraqi insurgents. |
