Al-Qaeda or locals in Iraq? english.aljazeera.net "...Sanchez said the al-Qaida presence in Iraq dated back at least as far as a 12 November truck bombing in the southern city of Nasiriyah that killed 28 people, including 19 Italian soldiers. He said the organisation, blamed by the US for the September 11 attacks, was adapting to the Iraqi environment and joining forces with elements from the former regime of Saddam Hussein. Sanchez has previously said fighters trained and financed by al-Qaida were trickling into Iraq from Syria to aid the resistance to the US occupation. Resistance attacks "Foreign fighters continue to come into the country, but they are coming in small numbers," he said in an interview earlier this month. He said foreigners were "the ones that are driving the politically-born improvised explosive devices for the most part". The US often blames resistance attacks against occupation targets on Saddam loyalists or al-Qaida fighters. However, some analysts believe this is a convienient way of hiding the fact that the Iraqi resistance is widely supported by the local population."
