Once again acknowledging its presence in Iraq, Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the murders of two more diplomats:

Al Qaeda in Iraq says it has killed two Algerian diplomats kidnapped last week, according to a website statement.

The statement was posted on a site often used by the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al Zarqawi.

It said: “The head of the Algerian mission Ali Belaroussi and the diplomat Azzedine Belkadi, whose government is ruling in violation of God’s will, were killed.”

It claimed the envoys had been killed because of the Algerian government’s repression of Muslims in their north African country.

“We won’t forget what Algeria did to Muslims, by killings, destruction and spilling their blood,” it said. (Source: Sky News)

Meanwhile, the al Qaeda-backed Iraqi insurgence has killed twelve Muslim factory laborers just trying to get home from work.
