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.

I firmly believe, Mike, that if they could do it, they would do it, and brag afterward. When they boast before the fact it is a sign of their lack of manhood, oops I mean strength. If you're in Iraq you can certainly comment as to the veracity of what I say.
Kill them.....kill them all.....
Do I remember something about rivers of blood flowing in the desert and infidel stomachs roasting in hell? And... "There are NO Infidels in Bughdad. Never!" as the tanks rolled by in the background.
" and a big surprise for you inside America," said the statement, the authenticity of which could not be confirmed. "
Probably courtesy of Vicente Fox and our porous Mexican border.
thats the way it always is...
that is the culture over here....a lot of symbolism...very little substance....
I am in Qatar now....I left Baghdad two days ago....
This can't be true, because as everyone knows, Saddam's Iraq was a "secular" country.
That means you're on your way home?
You think so? Or would Americans cower like they did in the face of two lousy snipers in Washington? Or would the US government spend billions to protect the muzzies by arresting and prosecuting any native (born) American who even breathed a murmur of a threat toward any one of them? I honestly don't know what would happen.
But I will say this: I fear that before this is all over we are going to all have an attitude of "nobody ever said we were going to live forever" because the killing is going to be wholesale.
gutter. /sarc
No, Boob, what will go down in history is Iraqis voting in free and fair elections. These Iraqis will join Afghani men and women in voting and tasting freedom for the first time. No roadside bomb, beheading or RPG will diminish this, and I just wish I could be there to see your face, when you find out your "Paradise" is really Hell..
Doha isnt that bad....
What really scares me is that they might drop a dirty nuke on our troopes in Iraq.
I'll believe it when they are roasting my stomach.

Nothing would get the bulk of the American people (less the 20% leftist scum) behind President Bush on Iraq than for this ragtag "army" to start attacking us on our soil. Bring it on, camel lovers!
regards,
Because they are terrorists too!
