"Bin Laden tape urges followers to unite; Warns insurgents to beware of strife" by Kim Gamel/Associated Press October 23, 2007
BAGHDAD - Osama bin Laden scolded his Al Qaeda followers in Iraq and other insurgents yesterday, saying they have "been lax" for failing to overcome fanatical tribal loyalties and unite in the fight against US troops.
The message of his new audiotape reflected the growing disarray among Iraq's Sunni Arab insurgents and bin Laden's client group in the country, both of which are facing heavy US military pressure and an uprising among Sunni tribesmen.
[CUI BONO, readers?
Every time Bush needs him, UBL comes through!
See, we ARE WINNING!!
Bin Laden says so!]
In the brief tape played on Al-Jazeera television, the terrorist leader urged militants to "beware of division . . . The Muslim world is waiting for you to gather under one banner." He used the word "ta'assub" - "fanaticism" - to chastise insurgents for putting their allegiance to tribe or radical organization above the larger fight to overcome American forces.
While the authenticity of the tape could not be verified immediately, the voice resembled that of bin Laden in previous messages. US officials in Washington said analysts were still studying the tape. Al-Jazeera did not say how it got the tape, which was bin Laden's third this year.
bin Laden said: "My mujahedeen brothers in Iraq, you are a people worthy of praise and flattery. You've done well to carry out a glorious duty by fighting the enemy. But some of you have lagged behind in carrying out another glorious duty, which is to unite as one - as God wants."
He warned followers "against hypocritical enemies who are infiltrating your ranks to create sedition among mujahideen groups."
[I dunno; maybe it is him (ha-ha-ha)!
"My last advice is to the mujahedeen everywhere,” declares Osama’s will. “Take a breather and put aside for the time being, fighting the Jews and the Crusades, and instead devote your efforts to purifying your groups from the agents and the cowards and those impostors who claim to be scholars amongst you.”
In short, “al-Qaeda,” according to its purported leader, was rife with fake jihadists, poseurs, spooks, and informers, as should be expected of a bogus terror organization created by the CIA."
Hi, gov't monitor. We AIN'T EATING this shit no more!
:-)
Anthony Cordesman, a terror analyst for the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said bin Laden's underlying message appeared to be aimed at Al Qaeda in Iraq - "that Al Qaeda needs to be less arrogant and moderate its conduct."
Cordesman pointed to Al Qaeda in Iraq's attempts to impose Taliban-like Islamic laws in some areas it controlled as well as its killings of rival tribal figures, actions that alienated some Sunni Arabs and led them to join a movement opposing Al Qaeda.
To showcase the success of that tribal alliance, the US military planned what it called a "unification parade" in Ramadi, the Anbar provincial capital, today.
[Nothing better happen then.
Otherwise, why are they having the parade and announcing it to the world?
A BIG BULLS-EYE for the "Al-CIA-Duhs" so we GOTTA STAY?!]
Major Lee Peters, a military spokesman for the area, said security would be increased to protect the celebration. It was to include at least 200 Sunni sheiks and hundreds of other dignitaries to commemorate Sheik Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, the founder of the anti-Al Qaeda group who was assassinated by a bomb Sept. 13.
Abdul-Sattar's brother, who has taken over the movement, said it was important to maintain pressure on insurgents, recalling that about 50 Al Qaeda militants marched through downtown Ramadi a year ago in a show of force.
Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha told The Associated Press at his heavily guarded compound as a band practiced for the parade in the backyard:
"The people felt weak and afraid because of Al Qaeda. Now there is a feeling of strength. This year I want to have a good parade to show that we support the law."
[And CUI BONO, readers, CUI BONO?]
The US military, meanwhile, kept up pressure on Shi'ite Muslim militants as well.
[Yeah, its about KILLING MUSLIMS -- no matter WHO THEY ARE!]
Baghdad police said US helicopters strafed a building in the capital's Sadr City district, wounding a woman and her daughter, the second claim in as many days of civilian casualties from US attacks in the Shi'ite enclave.
[That's right!
Make the connection in the shit-eaters minds:
bin-Laden, Iraq. bin Laden, Iraq.
SHAMELESS FUCKING SHIT MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!]
Iraqi officials disputed an American military claim that 49 militants were killed Sunday in a ground and air assault that targeted an Iranian-linked militia chief, insisting the number of casualties was 15 - all civilians.
Aides to radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr condemned the raid but urged followers to abide by his orders to refrain from violence despite what it called "the crimes of the Americans."
[That's the violent, bloodthirsty Sadr calling for patience?
I am SICK of the fucking LIES from the government and MSM, readers!
Oh, and HE'S RIGHT, too!]
Other Shi'ite neighborhoods in Baghdad were rattled by bombs Monday as at least 50 people were killed or found dead nationwide, according to police, hospital, and morgue officials."
[But Iraq is GETTING BETTER! Sigh!!]
The New York Times does the same thing, only in reverse order! What shit rags!
No wonder the Amurkn public thinks Hussein and bin-Laden were best friends!
Getting FED SHIT!]
"Iraqi Journalist Reported Missing After Driver’s Body Found" by PAUL von ZIELBAUER
BAGHDAD, Oct. 22 — An Iraqi journalist working in Baghdad for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty was reported missing on Monday morning after police officers found the body of her driver, who had been shot and killed on a city street, the American-backed radio network said.
Also Monday, Iraqi government and American military officials agreed to form a joint committee to investigate the combat actions on Sunday that killed 49 people in Sadr City, a sprawling district of working class Shiites in northeastern Baghdad. American military spokesmen have said that all those killed were militants who had attacked American forces, and that none of the dead were civilians.
[Gonna form a committee! Pfffffftttttt!]
Members of a Sadr City citizens council and other Shiite groups have accused American forces of unleashing a fusillade that killed innocent bystanders, including children. Some local news media said 15 Iraqis were killed.
[Well, Times? Didn't YOU bother to investigate?
No? Pfffffffftttttt!!!!!]
Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki expressed concern about the deaths during a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday with Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq, a military spokesman said.
Col. Steven A. Boylan, the spokesman, said the general explained that American soldiers were searching for militants “involved in kidnapping and death squads” on Sunday when they were attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs as they were leaving the area. He said, “attack helicopters had to be employed to engage those who attacked our soldiers.”
[Here's another bowl of shit for you, Amurkn!]
The president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Jeffrey Gedmin, did not disclose the missing reporter’s name in a statement posted on the network’s Web site, but described her as a correspondent for Radio Free Iraq, an Arabic-language program. The reporter was on her way to an interview but never arrived, Mr. Gedmin said in the statement.
Mr. Gedmin: “We are working with the authorities in Baghdad and are in constant touch with friends and family. We remain hopeful we will get her back safely.”
Nearly 100 Iraqi journalists have been killed since the beginning of the Iraq war in 2003, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. On Oct. 14, a Washington Post correspondent, Salih Saif Aldin, was shot in the forehead as he took photographs in a volatile neighborhood in southern Baghdad.
[There they go again!
Fucking elite shitstinks who find THEIR OWN more important than any other!
Never mind the 35 people killed every day (50 yesterday) and the number of Iraqis killed by the surge -- around 300 per day, 10,000 per month.
And what about the 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion?
Not including the 1,654 killed in September -- a so-called reduction in violence.
And what about the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day?
Times? Hello?]
Two other Radio Free Iraq journalists have been killed this year. In late May, Nazar Abd al-Wahid al-Radhi was killed in the southern city of Amara; two months earlier, another reporter, Khamail Muhsin Khalaf, was abducted and later found dead in western Baghdad.
An alliance of Sunni tribes that has been working with American forces to fight insurgent groups in Anbar Province said Monday that a mass grave containing 25 bodies had been discovered in an area that until recently was controlled by insurgents.
[That could be anybody, from anytime, for any reason! WTF?!]
In Hilla, south of Baghdad, an Iraqi contractor working for the American military was kidnapped while he was leaving the base, police officials said. A roadside bomb north of the city killed two brothers, they said.
In Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, the police discovered the bodies of three men who appeared to have been tortured and shot in the head, execution-style.
Separately, the Czech Republic said it planned to reduce its troops in Iraq to around 20 by the end of 2008 from roughly 100 now, according to Reuters.
[At least they will still be in the coalition!] And here goes the Times!
Iraq, bin Laden, Iraq bin Laden.
SICK of IT!
On Tape, bin Laden Urges Unity
CAIRO, Oct. 22 (AP) — Osama bin Laden called for Iraqi insurgents to unite and avoid divisive “extremism,” in an audiotape broadcast Monday on Al Jazeera.
The tape appeared to be a response to the move by some Sunni Arab tribes in Iraq to join American troops in fighting insurgents linked to Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, a homegrown militant organization that American intelligence sources say is foreign-led.
“Some of you have been lax in one duty, which is to unite your ranks,” Mr. bin Laden said. “Beware of division. Muslims are waiting for you to gather under a single banner to champion righteousness.”
American counterterrorism officials said they were studying the content and authenticity of the audiotape."
[Something else, huh, readers?
All NaZionist shit-spew!]
