Al-Qaeda in Iraq dismisses insurgent tape
Insurgency
Al-Qaida in Iraq said Saturday that a recent video tape made by a man claiming to be an insurgent who called for the replacement of the head of the terrorist group was fabricated. The Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq, said in a statement posted on its Web site that the video was "a lie and a media trick."
The statement could not be independently confirmed. The Shura Council said the false video tape "shows the great dilemma that the Crusader's coalition is passing through in Iraq especially after the calls for withdrawal that were released by the British army."
