BAGHDAD (AP)
-- An al-Qaida affiliate group in Iraq has claimed responsibility for
Monday's wave of attacks that killed 115 people across the country and
wounded hundreds others.
In a statement posted
Wednesday on a militant website, the Islamic State of Iraq said the
"blessed foray" marked the beginning of a campaign it calls "Breaking
the Walls," announced last week by the local insurgency's leader, Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Al-Baghdadi said that his
network's aim was to rebuild tribal alliances in order to make a
comeback in Sunni areas from which it had retreated in 2007-2008.
