Al-Qaeda in Iraq: "Test Unconventional Weapons on American Bases"
[AP/Guardian-UK] Patrick Quinn - In an audio message Thursday, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, called for explosives experts and nuclear scientists to join his group's holy war against the West. "The field of jihad (holy war) can satisfy your scientific ambitions, and the large American bases (in Iraq) are good places to test your unconventional weapons, whether biological or dirty," he said. He also said more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since 2003.
