``Praise be to God, in an attack with light and medium weapons and RPG's in the Yarmouk area in Baghdad on Jan. 17, two SUVs belonging to the Zionist Mossad were destroyed and a third one was severely damaged,'' said a statement posted Thursday on an Islamic Web site.
The statement was signed by the spokesman of the ``Islamic state in Iraq,'' the so-called Islamic government that al-Qaida in Iraq and several other Iraqi Sunni Arab insurgent groups declared earlier last year. The statement was posted on a Web forum where Sunni insurgents often release messages.
A U.S. official said that the statement's authenticity could not be determined.
Its purported author - Islamic state in Iraq - is considered al-Qaida in Iraq's political arm, said the official, who did not want to be identified because of the information's sensitivity.

The National Democratic Institute are a bunch of trendy-lefties headed up by none other than Madeline K. Albright. This bright, young, naive lady was associated with a number of liberal endeavors, including Air(head) America.
Thus are the tragic consequences of thinking you can deal with the Islamist enemy as a rational actor.
Tragic. RIP
The jihad against Christians continues.
Too bad, but it should be a warning to ALL Americans, this is the result they will undergo if the terrorist threat from the Middle East is NOT eliminated.
