BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A senior operative for al Qaeda in Iraq who was caught this month has told his U.S. military interrogators a prominent al Qaeda-led group is just a front and its leader fictitious, a military spokesman said on Wednesday.

Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner told a news conference that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq, which was purportedly set up last year, did not exist.

The Islamic State of Iraq was established to try to put an Iraqi face on what is a foreign-driven network, Bergner said. The name Baghdadi means the person hails from the Iraqi capital.

....

"In his words, the Islamic State of Iraq is a front organization that masks the foreign influence and leadership within al Qaeda in Iraq in an attempt to put an Iraqi face on the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq," Bergner said.

...

"To make al-Baghdadi appear credible, al-Masri swore allegiance to al-Baghdadi and pledged to obey him, which is essentially pledging allegiance to himself since he knew Baghdadi was fictitious and a creation of his own," he said.

[biko]

there is this silly programm that comes on channel four called the IRAQ COMMISSION set up by channel four.

i cough some of it the other night and there was this al qaeda expert who stated that 90% of the al qaeda in Iraq are Iraqis...90%!!!


now, any human being with an ounce of decency can see that, what they are calling al qaeda is nothing more than Iraqis fighting ilegal fascist occupation. the same with Afghanistan.

as times goes by its becoming more and more crystal clear, to even, the most retarded person, that al qaeda is just a green card to destroy muslim people, by causing confusion and division amongst themselves.

and boy are they falling for it big time! hook line sinker!!!
