Zarkawi Declares "All-Out War" on Iraq Elections and Democracy
(New York Times) John F. Burns - An Internet audiotape posted Sunday in the name of leading Iraqi insurgent Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said: "We have declared an all-out war on this evil principle of democracy." Zarqawi's warning comes a week before the Jan. 30 vote for a 275-member assembly and a transitional government. The tape cast the elections as a "wicked plot to install Shiites in power," ending generations of political domination by the Sunni minority.
