Al-Qaeda issues response to latest US-Iraqi offensive
2006-03-18
The Mujahideen Shura Council issued a statement today, March 17, 2006, addressing the new military campaign recently launched by American and Iraqi forces in the north of Iraq. The group notes the campaign’s moniker of being the “biggest attack with area support” since the start of the War in Iraq, and disparages the forces as “losers” for launching the offensive as an alleged means to “frighten” the Sunni people and coerce them to accept the new Iraqi government. To meet the enemy, the statement reads that the Mujahideen Shura Council has prepared for the attack and warns the Sunni people to not believe the propaganda and deception of the “unbelievers” in their psychological war.

Further, the message addresses previous large-scale campaigns and states: “Only their noses were rubbed in the mud and their voices were heard loudly calling to leave. This operation will end up the same way as the previous ones.”

Operation Swarmer, reported as the largest air assault since the initiation of the War in Iraq, consists of over 1,000 troops of the American and Iraqi forces being deployed into the north of Samarra.

The Mujahideen Shura Council is composed of seven insurgency groups in Iraq: al-Qaeda in Iraq, Victorious Army Group, the Army of al-Sunnah Wal Jama’a, Ansar al-Tawhid Brigades, Islamic Jihad Brigades, the Strangers Brigades, and the Horrors Brigades, collaborating to meet the “unbelievers gathering with different sides” and defend Islam.

#6  al-Qaeda in Iraq, Victorious Army Group, the Army of al-Sunnah Wal JamaÂ’a, Ansar al-Tawhid Brigades, Islamic Jihad Brigades, the Strangers Brigades, and the Horrors Brigades,

Geez, if they weren't such pains in the arses, these group names would be absolutely hilarious. The "Victorious Army Group", which hasn't won a single battle yet, Army of al-Sunnah side up Wal Mart Jamima, the Strangers to winning Brigades and on and on. We need an al-Rantburg PSHAW Brigades, lol!

#3  yes, citizens of Iraq...we of the Mujahideen Shura Council are here to defend Islam and Iraqis from the murdering, raping, pillaging infidels.

The:
1) homicide bombings in buses, schools, and market places,
2) mass graves
3) kidnappings
4) disruption of commerce and infrastructure

are the work of the demon:
1) Joooooos
2) Americans
3) Brits

A true muslim would not of course kill, murder, rape, pillage another muslim.
