Iraq's Mujahideen wage concentrated attacks

Sheikh Osama Bin Laden's last address appears to have had a powerful affect on the Sunni Mujahideen groups operating in Iraq who are now underway with an intense campaign of attacks against the so-called "Awakening Councils" formed by the US as a way to pit Muslim against Muslim.

Even the Islamic Army of Iraq (IAI) appears to be cooperating. The IAI, who have traditionally positioned themselves against the Islamic State of Iraq, have released the news that they will no longer be targeting fellow Mujahideen but rather will concentrate their attacks on the American occupation forces only and their puppets only. These latest developments put the "Awakening Councils" clearly in the sightlines of the Mujahideen and Iraqi resistance fighters.

In a dispatch posted at 8:22pm Baghdad time Monday night, the Yaqen News Agency reported that a bomb exploded by a checkpoint manned by collaborationist "Awakening" police in the city of al-Baghdadi, 200km west of Baghdad. Yaqen reported a source in the puppet police as saying that four collaborator "Awakening" policemen were killed and three more of them wounded in the attack.
