Al Qaeda in Iraq

Al Qaeda bombers are coming to Baghdad.

"Top al-Qa'eda bombmakers have established at least two cells in Baghdad with the capacity to carry out large operations designed to destabilise American-backed efforts to restore order, officials of Iraq's new government have disclosed."

"...The device used in the lorry bomb was far more sophisticated than anything coalition forces have encountered so far. A mixture of high explosives and TNT, it was triggered by remote control and, according to one security official, might have been assembled in Syria before being brought to Baghdad.

"'The style of the attack and the explosives used point towards Ansar al-Islam and in particular to Zarqawi, who is still on the run in Iraq,' a senior Jordanian official said. 'Zarqawi blames Jordan for giving the United States information on his terror network and a secret Ansar al-Islam camp in northern Iraq, which makes him one of the chief suspects in this attack.'

"Ansar al-Islam has regrouped after its caves and mountain bases were bombed in the early stages of the war. Its members fled into Iran, where they were given official protection by the country's security services, before filtering back into Iraq in the chaotic weeks after the fall of Saddam. Al-Qaeda operatives are also believed to have proliferated in Iraq over the past three months, crossing the borders from Syria and Iran to resist what their leadership describe as the occupation of Muslim soil by an infidel army."

The liberation of Iraq is showing a real connection between al Qaeda and Iraq.
