Al Qaeda's Iraq branch claims responsibly for Anbar terror attack
Al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq has released an internet statement claiming responsibility for an attack in Anbar province that killed more than 20 people, including three US Marines.
The Islamic State of Iraq made the claim in a statement posted on a militant Web site Saturday. It says a militant wearing an explosives belt blew himself up in the middle of a gathering of the "heads of apostasy", a reference to US-backed Sunni tribal leaders. (AP)
