Iraqs Al Qaeda threatens to attack Iran
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
DUBAI: The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq has given Iran a two-month ultimatum to stop meddling in Iraqi affairs or face all-out war, according to an audiotape posted on the Internet on Monday.
We give... the leaders of Iran a period of two months to stop all forms of support to the rejectionists of Iraq, and stop direct and indirect interference in the affairs of the Islamic state, said a voice attributed to the groups leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. The term rejectionists is used by Sunni militant groups to refer to Shiites, who dominate the government in Iraq and are in a majority in both Iraq and neighbouring Iran.
Otherwise, expect a fierce war that will annihilate you, which we have been preparing for over the past four years and just waiting to issue the orders to wage the campaign, the voice said. The tape was posted on a website usually used by militant groups but its authenticity could not be verified. The Islamic State of Iraq is an alliance of Sunni groups led by Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The voice said the war would strike every spot where Iranians can be found and warned Sunni merchants in Iran and the Arab world - mainly Gulf states- to stop dealing with Shiite traders. They (Sunni merchants) are included in the two-month period to stop all kinds of partnership with them... After that, any kind of trade with them will be a target, he said.
Baghdadi also called on Sunni Muslims worldwide to prepare for the war, and those in Shiite dominated Iran. You have a historic opportunity to get your rights, starting with self-ruling, and ending with a just punishment to everyone who stepped on your dignity, he said.
Iraqs Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned late June that Al Qaeda extremists in Iraq had wide-ranging and dangerous plans to destabilise neighbouring countries. The United States has long accused Iran of fomenting the conflict in Iraq by arming and training fighters, claims denied by Tehran. afp
