Baghdad, 28 Jan. (AKI) - (By Hamza Boccolini) - A new video purportedly from Al-Qaeda in Iraq urges Muslims to become snipers in order to avenge the Palestinian deaths caused by Israel's three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The 30 minute documentary, entitled "From the Islamic State: Dedicated to Gaza, the courageous," underlines the military and religious aspect of a sniper in Islam. It begins by showing images of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, while images of Arab heads of state are seen cheering after a raid.

The aim of the video - produced by production house al-Furqan - is to invite Muslims from all over the world to do the same and kill the first unbeliever that crosses his path.

"The video also shows how al-Qaeda has killed dozens of US soldiers by using snipers in the past few years."

What exactly is their definition of snipers? Placing an IED on the road?? There are no Al Quada in Iraq snipers picking off Marines or Army from long range. These clowns stick to AKs and SKS's because its too difficult to train them to use a complex assault weapon. Never mind a high precision bolt action rifle such as a Remington 700 or .50 cal sniper rifles like McMillans or Barretts.
