| Islamic Anger Brigades warn Arabs off |
| 2004-07-14 |
| An Iraqi militant group has warned Arab states not to send troops to Iraq, saying they would meet the same fate as US soldiers, according to a video broadcast Wednesday by a pan-Arab TV channel. The previously unknown "Islamic Anger Brigades" issued the warning after Jordan, Bahrain and Yemen made conditional offers of troops to the interim Iraqi government last week. An editor at the Dubai-based Al Arabiya channel said the tape was apparently delivered to the satellite station’s offices in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. The editor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the station had no further details on the group. "We warn all Arab countries of the repercussions of sending troops to Iraq," said one of four men in the video, reading from a statement. Arab "countries sending troops to Iraq would face the same fate as the American forces in Iraq," he added. The men were brandishing automatic rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher According to another audiotape carrying a voice purporting to be that of Jordanian militant Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, the captors of US hostage Nicholas Berg beheaded him rather than accept money for his release to avenge Muslims who had suffered at the hands of American-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 60-minute recording, which was first posted on Islamic websites yesterday, claimed that there had been attempts – including the payment of money – to save Berg’s life, but the speaker did not identify who was behind the rescue bids. |

| #5 It should be properly translated as the Sunni Seething Squad not Islamic Anger Brigade, bloody stupid translators. Besides the roads, the wine, sanitation, law and order what have the Romans ever done for us! Nothing! |

| #4 An Iraqi militant group has warned Arab states not to send troops to Iraq, saying they would meet the same fate as US soldiers As if the violence in Iraq had not already disproven the myth of no Muslim-on-Muslim violence. Fortunately, it seems as though Iraq's interim leaders are well aware of how counterproductive the outside interference has been. |

| #2 Not only that, but they always seem to form brigades (which in the US Army consists of several thousand soldiers). Q: How many Arabs does it take to form a brigade? A: 2 - 1 to issue a statement and 1 to issue a fatwa. (/rimshot) |

| #1 Wow. So many factions, so little time. Monty Python's colloseum skit sure nailed the Arabs to the wall. No matter if what this particular "group" is peddling, there must be an indian shortage cuz there's so damned many chiefs. |
