Is al-Qaeda connected to other terrorist organizations? Yes. Among these terrorist groups are: * Egyptian Islamic Jihad; * Jamaat Islamiyya, also from Egypt; * the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group; * the Islamic Army of Aden, in Yemen; * Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad, in Kashmir; * the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan; * the Salafist Group for Call and Combat and the Armed Islamic Group, both of Algeria; * Abu Sayyaf Group, in Malaysia and the Philippines. http://www.terrorismanswers.com/groups/alqaeda3.html Philippine terrorists claim link to Iraq By Marc Lerner THE WASHINGTON TIMES CEBU, Philippines — Islamist terrorists in the southern Philippines who have killed two American hostages in recent years say they are receiving money from Iraqis close to President Saddam Hussein. Top Stories Hamsiraji Sali, a local commander of the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf on the remote southern island of Basilan, says he is getting nearly $20,000 a year from supporters in Iraq. "It's so we would have something to spend on chemicals for bomb-making and for the movement of our people," Sali told a reporter this week, renewing earlier claims of support from Iraq. The payments, while small, provide additional evidence of a link between Iraq and the Abu Sayyaf — a group with long-standing ties to al Qaeda and its global terror network. The boast of an Iraqi connection was taken seriously after the expulsion of an Iraqi diplomat from Manila last week amid charges he had been in contact with the Abu Sayyaf by telephone. ... Iraqi diplomat Husham Hussein was expelled after Philippine officials discovered that he had received a telephone call from an Abu Sayyaf member linked to the Oct. 2 bombing in the southern port city of Zamboanga that killed one American serviceman and badly wounded another. This plus the fact that Abu Musab Zarqawi was in Baghdad receiving medical care for injuries he received in Afghanistian when one of his men murdered an American official in Amman last October, is enough evidence for me.
