Terror Leader in Iraq Declares War (Against Shiites) on Tape
2005-09-14
Al-Qaida's leader in Iraq purportedly declared all out war on Shiite Muslims, Iraqi troops and the country's government in audio tape released on Internet on Wednesday. The speaker on the tape, introduced as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, also said his militant forces would attack any Iraqi it believes has cooperated with an ongoing U.S.-led offensive in the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar.

"If proven that any of (Iraq's) national guards, police or army are agents of the Crusaders, they will be killed and his house will demolished or burnt — after evacuating all women and children — as a punishment," the voice said in the new tape that surfaced on an Internet site known for carrying extremist Islamist content. The speaker announced "all out war against Shiites everywhere. Beware, there will be no mercy."

#7  The Sunnis would be wise to start making plans to move to Syria or Jordan. There's a Sunni pogrom coming; how bad it will be I won't guess but I don't suspect either the Shia or the Kurds will be in any mood to show them mercy.

#4  Zarqi must be afraid there WILL be deal done between the Shia and the Sunnis, and felt a need to rile the Shia up.
