Iraqi Insurgents Threaten Attack Inside United States
Agence France-Presse, with files from The Daily Telegraph ^ | Tuesday, January 04, 2005 | Ned Parker

BAGHDAD - The Islamic Army in Iraq, one of the main armed groups fighting U.S. forces in the war-torn country, has threatened to carry out attacks inside the United States, according to a statement posted on a Web site yesterday.

This year "will bring woes on America. The mujahedeen [holy warriors] have prepared big surprises for your sons outside America and a big surprise for you inside America," said the statement, the authenticity of which could not be confirmed.

The statement appeared to mark a disturbing shift in strategy by the shadowy Sunni Muslim group that has claimed a number of attacks and killings of hostages in Iraq, including an Italian journalist and two Pakistanis.

The mujahedeen "will take the battle from inside our country [Iraq] to yours," the statement said.

"We address you after you finished celebrating the new year, hoping that you are no longer drunk.... We will give American civilians a taste of what civilians in our country go through," said the statement, presented as a "message to the American people."

The statement, which described Americans as "uncivilized" and "ignorant," claimed that "the whole world" hates the United States.

"Are you aware that the number of those who support striking America on its own turf has greatly increased?" it said.

"Last year was a picnic for your soldiers [in Iraq]. The year 2005 will witness a quantitative and qualitative change in the operations against your army, which will go down in history," the statement said.

"Those who participate in this dirty farce will not be sheltered from the blows of the mujahedeen," the statement said.

Internment camps will be popping up faster than Starbucks in the US if any of these Muslim scumbags carry out any of these threats. Americans, with their 1.7 guns, will be hunting Arabs down in the streets.

So the DNC is writing their talking points now?

"But the Islamic Army has shown a willingness to bend when it has felt its political ends are being met. It chose to spare French journalists Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot in December after holding them captive for four months.

It said the pair were being freed "because they were proven not to spy for U.S. forces, in response to appeals and demands from Islamic institutions and bodies, and in appreciation of the French government's stand on the Iraq issue and the two journalists' stand on the Palestinian
cause."

Here's your answer. Collaborating with the enemy.

Well then it's my error and I apologize! I thought the story I posted which said this from my post:

A group calling itself the Islamic Army In Iraq threatened to transfer the battle in 2005 into inside the USA. It said in a statement on the Internet that the American people will be deprived during the few coming days from security which its government aims to achieve. This came at a time when attacks and explosions continued in various parts of Iraq, most of them concentrated in the capital and areas situated to its north.

was about the same group!

Why is it that French journalists always get these kinds of scoops?

Because their heads are so far up the terrorists' a$$es that the can smell the story before anyone else does.

can't you just feel the love and peace resonating from them and their beliefs?!

publically declare Mecca & Medina targets one $ two for immediate incineration should these peaceniks every use a nuke in the US. they just love allegory for expressing the warped manhood.

we publicize the missiles be retargeted so that all -- even the feckless UN -- will see and know that each one can fly in minutes.

we should give them an image or two to noodle on : - )

I wonder if these dirtbags will still be so boastful if they knew that we would remove their private parts before burying them together with a piece of pork. The 72 virgins awaiting them would probably rejoice.

Americans are not Iraqi's. We will fight back and we are armed and willing to defend ourselves. We are not sheep like many Iraqi's. So let them try to attack in the USA. There are many Americans who will take matters into their own hands and not wait for formal action by the government.

I usually only ask questions I already know the answer to.

This is one of those times.

Thanks though!

Really rich coming from ignorant Arab savages.

These pigs are so stupid that they do not realize that we will raze the whole Sunni triangle to the ground and piss on the ruins if they do anything inside the US.

No problem. Just another in the ongoing exchange over the "already been posted" debate. The way I see it, true duplicate posts, same article, same source should be controlled. That goes for, say, the exact same AP or other wire service story posted at two different web news sites.

But on two original articles on the same news event, I don't think we want to stifle that kind of input to FR. How news is reported is as important to FR as what is being reported. Best Regards!

1. We are well aware that most of them are not Iraqi.

2) Bring. It. On. Then we'll take the gloves off and hunt you down like the dogs that you are.

Sounds like glass parking lots may be needed in targeted areas.

A lot of "booms" might be needed in those areas...[g]

This year "will bring woes on America. The mujahedeen [holy warriors] have prepared big surprises for your sons outside America and a big surprise for you inside America,"

Bet my Big Surprise is bigger than your Big Surprise.

How's that for uncivilized?
