Al-Qaida in Iraq Claims Rocket Attack on U.S. BaseBy Evan Kohlmann
Al-Qaida's Committee in Mesopotamia--led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi--has released a new video recording allegedly depicting a February 21 rocket attack on a U.S. base near Fallujah known as "The Farm." While previous Al-Qaida videos from Iraq have largely focused on suicide bombing attacks, this latest release is one of a series of new videos from Al-Qaida that depict less sensational rocket and mortar launches on U.S. military forces. This may be part of a deliberate propaganda effort to draw attention away from unpopular terrorist atrocities that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent Iraqi Muslims.
