Tawhid wal Jihad Denies Involvement in Weekend Car Bombings
"We, Al-Qaida in Iraq, declare that we are not responsible for the explosions and operations in Karbala and Najaf and we tell anyone who supports Americans and joins them in their atheism and criminality that we will continue our jihad against you by all means," it said in a statement posted on the Internet.The denial came a day after the arrest in Karbala of six suspects, including a citizen of a former Soviet republic, on suspicion of involvement in the attacks. Police spokesman Rahman Meshaway said Thursday that the unidentified foreigner had admitted getting training from al-Qaida in a European country.
Funny how Tawhid wal Jihad (Al Qaeda in Iraq) denies this car bombing yet proudly boasts of similar car bombings throughout Iraq followed by threats to anyone they deem is cooperating with Democracy. Of course the group had to insert the same threat they have used for well over a year now.
The six suspects that were arrested yesterday indicates an argument I've made before regarding jihadists training and being indoctrinated in Europe. As many of my readers know, these European jihadists travel to Syria where they are outfitted for terrorist activity and sent into Iraq. It is a disturbing cylce of events that we seem not to be able to handle. Then again, a little help from some of our European "allies" certainly could help curb the growing radical Islamic front in Europe.
