Reuters, BAGHDAD Qaedaâs affiliate in Iraq has claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack against police officers and cadets that killed 19 people in Baghdad on Feb. 19, a group that monitors online communication among insurgents said. The car exploded as it careered into a crowd of cadets who had just been escorted out of a police academy in central Baghdad and were standing in the street. The U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group said the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), an umbrella group for al Qaeda-linked Sunni insurgents, claimed responsibility for the incident in a statement posted on Islamist websites on Friday. âThe lion of Islam Sheikh Abu Ghassan al-Ansari penetrated the gates of the academy with his explosives-laden vehicle ... and detonated his vehicle,â ISI was quoted by SITE as saying. SITE said the group also listed 29 operations carried out around Baghdad between Feb. 13-29, which targeted Iraqi forces and officials. ISI said on Thursday it was behind attacks in western Iraq on March 5 that killed 27 members of the security forces. Bombings and killings occur daily in Iraq, which is still plagued by a lethal Sunni insurgency and Shiite militias, although overall violence has decreased since the height of sectarian fighting in 2006-07. ج٠Ùع اÙØÙÙÙ Ù ØÙÙظة ÙÙÙاة اÙعربÙØ© © ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
