DUBAI, Sept 28, 2006 (AFP) - Al-Qaeda's chief in Iraq called for launching
biological warfare on US troops in the war-torn country, in an audio-clip
posted on the Internet Thursday.
"My message to the pioneers ... especially atomic and explosives experts: We
are in urgent need for you, as the American bases are the perfect place for
non-conventional experiments of biological and dirty (warfare)," said the
voice, purportedly that of to Abu Hamza al-Muhajer.
Muhajer said the group was launching a new "all-out offensive ... to uproot
the infidels and the apostates," from Iraq, in reference to the US-led
coalition forces and their supporters among the Iraqis.
In the same tape, he also offered amnesty to Sunni Arab tribal leaders who
have collaborated with the government if they revert to supporting the
insurgency.
The amnesty would last until the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan,
"I tell those (tribal sheikhs) who stood by the betrayers and sold out their
religion and honour in this blessed month: We today offer you a full
amnesty," he said.
This amnesty is however "contingent to your declaration of a full repentance
... and cooperation with your brothers the mujahedeen (holy warriors) to
drive the occupier out" of Iraq, he said in the tape whose authenticity
could not be verified.
Early in September, the terror network chief also known as Abu Ayyub
al-Masri urged each Iraqi Sunni to kill one of the 141,000 US soldiers in
Iraq by the start of Ramadan.
Muhajer took over as Al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq after a US air strike killed
his predecessor, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, on June 7.
