Wait for angel of death, al-Qaeda warns Allawi
January 28, 2005
Baghdad - Insurgents have killed at least a dozen people in the rebel
campaign to frighten Iraqis away from participating in the weekend
election.
In attacks on designated polling stations and troops around the country
yesterday, a score of Iraqis were killed or hurt. One US soldier was
killed and five were injured.
And as part of an intensifying campaign of intimidation, an al-Qaeda
affiliate led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
posted a videotape on the Internet showing the murder of a candidate
from the party of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
The tape included a warning to Allawi personally: "You traitor, wait
for the angel of death."
Yesterday Iraqi newspapers published for the first time the names of 7
000 National Assembly candidates, many of whose identities were kept
secret to protect them from assassination.
To protect voters, hundreds of American soldiers have begun to move out
of their massive garrison on the western edge of Baghdad to smaller
bases throughout the city so as to respond more quickly to election day
attacks.
A total of 300 000 Iraqi and multinational troops will provide
security, with Iraq's US-trained forces taking the lead role.
The interim government will deploy an additional 2 500 troops as
polling station guards, with about 9 000 Iraqi troops being dispatched
to guard oil pipelines.
Iraq's national security adviser, Qassim Dawoud, acknowledged that
security remained shaky in four of the 18 provinces.
However, attacks were reported yesterday in at least seven provinces,
including relatively peaceful Basra, where militants fired mortar
shells at four schools designated as polling stations.
