al Qaeda-linked group threatens Iranians
The leader of an al Qaeda-linked group in Iraq vowed in an audio tape on Sunday to attack Iranians unless Iran cut off its support for the Iraqi government within two months.
"We give the ... Persians in general, and leaders of Iran in particular, two months to withdraw their support and presence in Iraq," Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, said in the 50-minute audio tape posted on Islamist Web site which has often carried al Qaeda statements.
I wonder if al Qaeda is smart enough and organized enough to intentionally be trying to undermine the US administration. The pro-war groups have recently made a lot of hay out of claims that Iran and al Qaeda where linked in Iraq, rather like the al Qaeda - Saddam claims made before the invasion. And now tapes threatening war between those two groups surface.
