Al Qaeda in Iraq

The Islamic State of Iraq, an al Qaeda front group, claimed it carried out the suicide attack against an Al Arabiya television channel office in Baghdad. “We take responsibility for targeting this corrupt channel, and we will not hesitate to hit any media office and chase its staffers if they insist on being a tool of war against almighty God and his prophet.”
