Look what Angelus just posted..

The announcer said a wing of the group called the Martyr Khattab Brigade claimed responsibility for the attack shown in the video.

Al-Qaeda!

Martyr Khattab would be a reference to Amir ibn al-Khattab, an al-Qaeda leader in Chechnya.

Iraq is the perfect place for al-Qaida to cause trouble for us. There's no problem blending in, and it's a target-rich environment.

It's also suicidal for them, but that is obviously no deterrent.

[Angelus Errare]

I should mention that Khattab was iced by the Russians last February, hence the "martyr" designation before his name. His successor is none other than Abu Walid, who was one of the brains behind last October's Moscow hostage seige.

There can be no link to AlQueda.That's what the Dems and talking heads said.
