A purported Islamist group in Iraq has warned that any Muslim troops sent to the country will be considered "occupation forces," in an implicit threat they will be attacked, Al-Jazeera television reported pm Saturday. The "Battalions of the '20 revolution, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq" announced "it would consider any foreign forces, be they Arab or Islamic, occupation forces," Al-Jazeera said. It gave no further details, but a spokesman at the Al-Jazeera said the warning had come in a statement received by the Doha-based satellite news channel. |
