New Shia Group Debuts
Thursday, 06 July 2006
A new Iraqi Resistance organization has made its appearance known with warnings to the US occupation that they would be doing battle with US forces now that the American intention to sow sectarian strife, rob Iraq’s resources, and kill Iraqis had become clear.
The Jordanian daily al-‘Arab al-Yawm reported on Tuesday, 4 July that the al-‘Abbas Brigade, a Shia Resistance organization operating in southern Iraq declared itself for the first time in a video broadcast Sunday on a local Iraqi TV network “Baghdad.” In the video the al-‘Abbas Brigades pledged to fight the US and British occupation forces and other forces allied with them, pledging to direct their attacks solely at foreign forces.
In its announcement the al-‘Abbas Brigade announced: “We have patiently persevered enough and given the political process sufficient chance, but the country has begun to slip down a dangerous path with the hated occupation still present, so it has become incumbent upon us to enter the Iraqi arena as Resistance fighters in order to save our country before it is lost.”
Al-‘Arab al-Yawm noted that the al-Jazeera satellite TV station reported a week ago that a land mine that destroyed a US Humvee bore the name of the Al-Abbas Brigade.
Meanwhile leaflets have been circulating in the southern Iraqi cities of Karbala’, an-Najaf, ad-Diwaniyah, as-Samawah, and al-Basrah all bearing the name of the al-‘Abbas Brigade and all threatening the foreign armies in Iraq with more painful strikes. The leaflets state that “the Americans invaded Iraq and have been plundering our wealth, they interfere in everything, spreading sectarian strife between the Sunnah and Shia, Arabs and Kurds.” The leaflet went on to say that the al-‘Abbas Brigades were serving notice that it was undertaking its armed Resistance activity to rid Iraq of the foreign occupation and to preserve national unity.”
Al-‘Arab al-Yawm noted that the southern regions of Iraq had been increasingly tense for the last four months as new armed Resistance organizations began to launch operations against the US and British occupation forces in the south.
