Oh boy this news is not good for the coalition because it will create more turmoil in the political front in Iraq as the handover on june 30th comes closer.AL-ZARQAWI 'S group (TIED TO AL-QAEDA) claimed responsability.FYI AL-ZARQAWI
was the one who beheaded the American citizen Berg.

Not to rehash old thoughts-but, IT IS TIME TO QUIT PLAYING AROUND AND GET SERIOUS!!!!
This could put a huge dent in the process which is in place. IMO, it is time to postpone the handover and TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS!!

Oh my!!! Not good news at all. This definitely should be a wake up call to get moving and do something significant.

You can tell just how scared the opposition is really getting. They start killing those who would lead the way.
In a country where killings of opposition has been going on for years and years, this is unfortunately nothing new for the Iraqis.
It should, however, help make the case for why the new government must take control of their own future. It's going to get rough on both sides in the next 30-days.
