Suspicion falls on Chechens for Iraqi blasts ( and planning more)
(Sept. 9 by B Raman)

There are indications that Arab nationals of Chechen origin belonging to al-Qaeda were responsible for the four explosions in Iraq recently - three in Baghdad and one at Najaf. The explosions in Baghdad were directed at the Jordanian Embassy, a building housing the offices of the United Nations and its allied organizations, and police headquarters.

Elements close to the IIF in Pakistan have been saying that the United States is in a vulnerable position in Iraq at present and that if the jihadis miss this opportunity to humiliate it, they will not get another one for some time.

snip...


The jihadis have been recalling the Beirut car-bomb attack against US marines in the early 1980s, which resulted in the death of more than 200, after which Ronald Reagan, then president of the United States, ordered a withdrawal of US troops from the Lebanon. It is reported that the jihadis are planning a similar massive explosion against US troops in Iraq, designed to cause a large number of casualties, possibly coinciding with the second anniversary of September 11, 2001.
