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.

These smelly little pigs ("muhajideen") don't seem to have a clue that they are self-worshipping atheists, the biggest infidels of all.

Why is it that French journalists always get these kinds of scoops?

Tell the cowards to bring it on. They have killed more Iraqi civilians than anyone else has.

*Yawn*

I'm sure that legions of Liberals will be wetting themselves over this proclamation and will be immediately calling, yet again, for us to pull out of Iraq, that we should throw down our arms and beg for forgiveness from the rest of the world.

Arabs are boastful like 15 year olds.....

There isnt anything backing up what they are boasting, but it makes them feel better about themselves....

I wonder sometimes if liberals look back at the Munich agreement as a good thing!

Yes, their a bit tied up with murdering their own (along with some of our soldiers). Something tells me THIS is exactly why W took the fight over to them....so they'd be too busy getting themselves killed or captured over there.

It's going to be difficult for any of them to coordinate any sort of attack from the deepest parts of Hell.

No, actually it has not already been posted. That is a different story from a different source.

Sounds like glass parking lots may be needed in targeted areas.

All talk and no virgins.

We might have a few surprises of our own lined up.

Iraqi Insurgents Threaten Attack Inside United States

BAGHDAD - The Islamic Army in Iraq, one of the main armed groups fighting U.S. forces

Dear Agence France Presse,

You may want to try the dictionary:

insurgent Pronunciation: -j&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin insurgent-, insurgens, present participle of insurgere to rise up, from in- + surgere to rise -- more at SURGE
1 : a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially : a rebel not recognized as a belligerent.

*******End******

If it is the Iraqi Army planning the attacks, then that would be the enemy, not the 'insurgents'
