| Iraqi insurgents vow more suicide attacks in Ramazan |
| 2007-09-05 |
| A Sunni insurgent coalition that includes Al Qaeda in Iraq said on Tuesday it was forming several battalions to intensify suicide attacks against US and Iraqi government targets. In a statement posted on an Islamic Web site, the Islamic State of Iraq said the “War Ministry” decided to form special battalions for martyrdom seekers “to pound the bastions of the crusaders and their renegade tails” in Iraq. “These battalions, with God’s help, will perform their duties in an excellent manner during the month of Ramazan and the enemies of God will suffer a lot”, the statement said. Last Ramazan, Al Qaeda also urged its followers to step up attacks against US and Iraqi forces. The statement said “most of the martyr seekers of these blessed battalions will be from the Ansar (Iraqi) brothers.” |

| #1 the link doesn't work... can you post a link under, I didn't see it on the frontpage. It's curious they spelled Ramadan that way. It's mostly pronounced with a hard z in Afghan dialect. Just wanted to check out who wrote it....Also, Sunnis have been working with CF recently to save their ass, so I wonder which group will take the lead.... Thanks |
