New Terror group? Iraqi Hamas

IRAQ: NEW INSURGENT GROUP "IRAQI HAMAS" EMERGES ON VIDEO

The first video attributed to a new Iraqi insurgent group was posted to radical Islamist internet forums on Wednesday. The three-minute film, entitled "The First Operation of Iraqi Hamas" showed the explosion of a roadside bomb in the Baghdad suburbs, as a truck supplying the US military bases passes by. The group is believed to have been formed at the end of March from a split within the 1920s Brigades, a group responsible for numerous kidnapping and suicide bombs. Some analysts believe "Iraqi Hamas" comprises militiamen linked to the Islamic party in parliament and to the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood.

"We fight the infidel..." and like Speaker Pelosi, we believe in the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group...
