Al Qaeda-linked group claims Baghdad bombs

By Fredrik Dahl 50 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A militant umbrella body affiliated to al Qaeda claimed responsibility on Sunday for some of the bombings that killed 43 people in and near Baghdad on Saturday in defiance of a security clampdown.


It was one of the bloodiest days in Iraq since the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Sunni Arab insurgent Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed in a U.S. air strike on June 7.

The Mujahideen Shura Council, which had pledged to continue until "doomsday" what it described as the holy war against crusader forces, said in a statement that it was behind four Baghdad bombs on Saturday, out of the seven reported by police.

The Iraqi capital was relatively calm on Sunday morning. Gunmen abducted 10 workers from a bakery in a northwestern district and police said 10 bodies, shot and showing signs of torture, had been found in different places overnight.

1. I wonder if shrub has calculated just how many Iraqi civilians

he has driven into the open arms of Al Ciada.... I wonder if it ever crosses his twisted little mind. Wasn't bad enough our approval rating in the ME was in the lower double digits... and now, single digit thumbs up is all we are ever going to see... pity.
