Al-Qaida leader in Iraq calls for continued jihad

Al-Qaida leader in Iraq calls for continued jihad

23 March 2010 17:35 (UTC +04:00)

Baku â€“ APA. The self-described leader of an al-Qaida front group has called for continued jihad against Iraq’s American "occupiers" after the March 7 election that he claims was boycotted by most Sunni Arabs, APA reports quoting â€œAssociated Pressâ€.
In a 24-minute audio tape posted Tuesday on militant Web sites, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi said the parliamentary election and its results meant nothing for the mujahideen, or holy fighters, and that the next government would be no different from the previous one.
Shiites have dominated governments in Iraq since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein, himself a Sunni.
Al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq, had vowed to violently disrupt the vote and warned Sunnis not to take part. The turnout on March 7 was officially put at a respectable 62 percent.
