Yesterday, there was a flurry of news that al Qaeda had released a tape calling on Muslims around the world to come to Iraq and "fight the US-led occupation." Is it only a coincidence that today a car bomb ripped through the UN headquarters in Baghdad?
Fox News reports: "The violence at the U.N. building followed a series of recent purported warnings from Islamic extremists.
"An audiotape that was allegedly made by one such extremist called on Muslims around the world to fight the U.S.-led occupation in Iraq.
"The audiotape, broadcasted on Al-Arabiyah TV, featured the voice of Abdur Rahman al-Najdi, a Saudi-born terrorist sought by the U.S.
"Also a letter, allegedly from Saddam Hussein's deputy, was read on air by the Al-Arabiya satellite T.V. channel in Dubai that vowed Iraqis would avenge the American killings of Saddam's two sons last month."
