‘Terror coalition’ feared in Iraq
Remnants of Saddam Hussein’s regime are joining forces with anti-American fighters to create new threats in Iraq, according to a US military chief.
General John Abizaid said the apparent alliance against the occupying powers was making “terrorism” the top problem in Iraq.
He spoke shortly after a group calling itself the Armed Vanguards of the Second Muhammad Army sent a statement to an Arab broadcaster claiming responsibility for Tuesday’s bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad.
