Islamic State of Iraq to step up attacks in retaliation for rape of Sunni women
Insurgency
(SITE) In a statement issued on Wednesday, the office of the Emir of the Believers, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, addressed the recent allegations by Sunni women in Baghdad and Tal Afar that Shi’ite police officers had raped them. The group argues that as Sunnis are helpless to rely on Sunni politicians in the “mockery government”, it is the role of the Mujahideen to respond with physically to these attacks. Baghdadi instructs the Mujahideen of the Islamic State to step up operations against the “Crusaders” and Shi’ites, and states: “You will see the cataclysmic response with the help of Allah Almighty, and what you saw of the blessed operations in the last days - which shook the security plan - are only the beginning, with the help of Allah.”
