(AKI) - Six of the main insurgent groups operating in Iraq have vowed to carry out joint attack against US forces to avenge the deadly ongoing Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The Army of the Mujahadeen in Iraq, the Islamic Army in Iraq, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas Iraq, Ansar al-Sunna and the Islamic Front for the Iraqi Resistance announced a campaign entitled "Against the Occupier - In Support of Gaza" in an advertisement published in pan-Arab daily Al-Quds al-Arabi. "We oppose the Israeli criminals who are carrying out genocide in Gaza. Our formations will wage a series of attacks against US troops in revenge against the Zionists," the ad read.
Radical Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr also published an appeal in the daily inviting "the noble Iraqi resistance" to carry out revenge attacks against US soldiers.
| Give em hell, boys. I'll stay here and...think up inspiring Muslim stuff. |
| He'll eat a goat in their honor ... |
"We must raise the Palestinian flag over Sunni and Shia mosques and also over churches in response to the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
"We must also respond with attacks against the Zionists' main ally," he said. |
