Al-Qaeda in Iraq purportedly posted an Internet statement Tuesday slamming US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent visit to Iraq and criticizing her for calling to include Sunni Arabs in the political process.
The statement said Rice was not welcome in Iraq and that she had "desecrated" its land.
"The hag wants the participation of the apostates and secularists who are claiming to be Sunnis," the statement said about Rice. "You should know that our (the Sunni) way is fighting you." "The constitution is written only by those who disavowed their belief in God's book," the statement added. "Our belief entails that the sword and bullets are our way of holding dialogue with you."
