Iraq - Al Qaeda connection.
In the New York Times, Edward Wong writes: (*)
BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 13 — Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant [Zawahiri] has released an Internet video calling on Iraqi insurgents to remain strong in the fight against Americans and praising the leadership of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant who directs Al Qaeda’s operations in Iraq.
Now even the New York Times admits that Zarqawi works for the Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda, the group responsible for the criminal atrocity of 9/11.
