| 2006-04-22 |
| Amongst several communiqués the Mujahideen Shura Council recently issued, in three, the group claims responsibility for detonating improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and a car bomb on “Crusader” and Iraqi forces in Beiji and al-Mosul between Monday, April 17, 2006, and Wednesday, April 19. According to the messages, a car bomb detonated by a remote control in Beiji killed an alleged six “Crusaders” and injuring three others, and an IED on Iraqi police in al-Mosul allegedly killing four of the “converters”. The Mujahideen Shura Council is composed of eight insurgency groups in Iraq: al-Qaeda in Iraq, Victorious Army Group, the Army of al-Sunnah Wal Jama’a, Jama’a al-Murabiteen, Ansar al-Tawhid Brigades, Islamic Jihad Brigades, the Strangers Brigades, and the Horrors Brigades, collaborating to meet the “unbelievers gathering with different sides” and defend Islam. |
