Al Qaeda in Iraq

The Islamic State of Iraq, al Qaeda’s front group, claimed responsibility for the suicide attack in Baghdad that killed 57 Iraqi Army recruits in Baghdad. “Our brother triggered and exploded his vest after plunging himself into the crowd,” the terror group said in a statement released on the Internet.
