Al-Qaida Faction Claims Rocket Attack in Gaza Strip, Releases Video

By Andrew Cochran

A previously unknown group calling itself the "Al-Qaida-Palestine Frontier Jihad Brigades"  has released a video allegedly depicting an August 1 Sajil rocket attack on Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.   According to a statement read by a masked militant, "we confirm that this operation comes as a part of the global Islamic Jihad that has been initiated by our brothers from Al-Qaidas Committee against the Jews and the crusaders... these brigades [have]... a faithful spirit pushing forward the mujahideen in Palestine to be decisive and unite behind faithful commanders who do not negotiate or surrender... It is a spirit that saves the mujahideen from falling for the tricks of some of our politicians who seek status and prestige under the banner of kufr [disbelief], treason, and corruption.
