Iraq extremists threaten attacks
THE group led by Iraq's most wanted man have joined other extremist Islamists and Saddam Hussein's old Baath party to threaten increased attacks on US-led forces following the international conference on Iraq.
"We are committed to intensifying armed attacks against coalition forces and their spies and agents... in response to the Sharm el-Sheikh conference, a sordid and suspect farce," said the statement signed by groups including the al-Qaeda Group in the Land of Two Rivers (Iraq) of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The international conference that wound up in Egypt on Tuesday brought together the world's major powers, neighbours of Iraq, the United Nations and others to support the process of political transition, including the January 30 elections.
The signatories said they signed "the statement written by the Iraqi Baath party, not because we support the party or Saddam, but because it expresses the demands of resistance groups in Iraq".
So Zarqawi's Al Qaida in Iraq and the Baathists have a formal alliance. I thought that secular parties wouldn't cooperate with Islamist ones, therefore Saddam would never help Bin Laden. Guess that theory has been proved wrong!
