The group of Al Qaeda’s Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has denied US charges that it used human shields in fighting with US forces but vowed more attacks against the Americans, according to a statement posted on the Internet Wednesday.It's like listening to a bunch of liberal talking heads there is so much projection in these statements...
“They accuse our mujahedeen (holy warriors) of using human shields. But you are deceiving yourselves, worshippers of the cross... Wasn’t it the Americans who used women and children as shields in Fallujah?” said the statement, whose authenticity could not be verified.
The US military waged a major assault on Fallujah in November in a bid to oust rebels from the city west of Baghdad.
“Our mujahedeen rush to death... they want to die as much as you care to live,” added the statement, signed by the Al Qaeda Organization in the Land of Two Rivers.
The US military said Monday that insurgents used patients as human shields in a weekend battle in a hospital in Hadithah, 260 kilometers (150 miles) northwest of Baghdad, that left four US troops dead.
Notice something about the second paragraph? The reporter actually tried to verify the terrorists claims and when he couldn't, he said so...man American media could learn something from this outfit...it's called journalism.
The rest is the typical terrorist words of little significance...
