BAGHDAD, Iraq - An armed group claimed in a video Thursday to have obtained a large amount of explosives missing from a munitions depot facility in Iraq (news - web sites) and threatened to use them against foreign troops.

A group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades, Al-Karar Brigade, said it had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that were in the al-Qaqaa facility."

The claim couldn't be independently verified. The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in front of a black banner with the group's name on it in the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News.

"We promise God and the Iraqi people that we will use it against the occupation forces and those who cooperate with them in the event of these forces threatening any Iraqi city," the man added.

1. I don't think Kerry should jump on this

because it will be spun to be taking the word of terrorists over our commanders in the field, etc.

Let the facts emerge and speak for themselves.

2. I agree, let the story speak for itself. Hopefully the media will be all

over it, Kerry won't need to say a word.

3. Of course they or other Iraqis have the stuff...

Courtesy of bush's gross criminal incompetence and negligence and stupidity and ignorance and arrogance and fantasies of "flowers and sweets".

And tens of thousands of uniformed men, women & teenagers are wounded, and 1249 uniformed men, women and teenagers are dead.

But bush, his Cartel, and their brownshirt freeping rightwingnuts don't give a shit about those wounded and dead uniformed men, women and teenagers, much less about the wounded & dead Iraqis.

4. Watch the Bushies say you can't take the word of terrorists

Even though they try to spin that Al Qaeda favors Kerry.
