What is the Administration getting our soldiers into..?? Will Iraq become another VietNam...?? Unknown Iraqi Group Vows to Kill U.S. Soldiers Sat 21 June 2003 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Disavowing any link with Saddam Hussein, a previously unheard-of Iraqi group vowed on Saturday to kill U.S. soldiers until they leave Iraq. "We will send them back the bodies of their soldiers one after another in retaliation for the terrorist and provocative actions that their dirty, barbarous forces have carried out," said a masked man on a videotape received by Lebanon's LBC television. There was no way to verify its authenticity. Saying he was speaking for the Iraqi National Front of Fedayeen -- literally "those who sacrifice themselves" -- the man promised more attacks on U.S. forces. He appeared with his face covered in a checked red-and-white headscarf as he read a written statement. Three masked men sat behind him with rocket-propelled grenades. The man denied the group had "any contact, link or relationship with the former regime" in Iraq. In a message to President Bush and his "criminal henchmen," he said: "If they want their soldiers to be safe, they must leave our pure land." Seventeen U.S. soldiers have been killed in hostile action in Iraq since major combat was over on May 1. The United States has blamed Saddam loyalists for the attacks on its forces. But many Iraqis say they are fueled by resentment at the occupation and the behavior of U.S. troops. truthout.org
