Sunni Iraqi Insurgents Deny Reported Friction With Zarqawi
By Evan Kohlmann
The Al-Fatihin Army--a breakaway faction of the prominent insurgent group known as the Islamic Army in Iraq (IAI)--has issued a new statement denying that there has been any recent friction between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Al-Qaida movement and other Sunni insurgents in Iraq. According to the communique released by Al-Fatihin Army commanders, "We remain steadfast alongside our brothers from Al-Qaida’s Committee in Mesopotamia and all the other groups fighting the crusaders and their allies." It should be noted that the Al-Fatihin Army remains outside of Zarqawi's official jihadist alliance in Iraq known as the "Mujahideen Shura Council."
