NEFA Foundation: Al-Qaida's "Islamic State of Iraq" (ISI) Claims Baghdad Bombings
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained and translated a new communiqué from the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) claiming responsibility for the suicide car bombings that left more than 160 dead and injured nearly 500. According to the statement, “One of the selected targets that was chosen this time was the ministry of evil and exploitation, the ‘ministry of justice’, and the other one was Baghdad's provincial council, the ‘legislative council of the local government of Baghdad’…[the mujahideen] pulled away the curtain on the criminals of this beautiful area, and ended the numerous lies…”
The complete English translation of the message from the ISI can be accessed via the NEFA Foundation website.
