BAGHDAD -- Al-Qaida's front group in Iraq claimed Wednesday it was behind a wave of attacks that killed 46 people across the country and said the violence shows how weak government security is heading into next week's Arab League summit in Baghdad.
The attacks on Tuesday struck Shiite pilgrims in the holy city of Karbala, set cars on fire near a police headquarters in Kirkuk and targeted security forces and government officials in Baghdad. In all, insurgents struck eight cities in just under six hours, killing 46 and wounding 200 people.

What is it with Al-Qaida, do they not see the hypocrisy in what they do? An American soldier for whatever reason, PTSD, anger, fun (im not condoning what he did) goes out and kills Innocent men, women, and children, and Al-Qaida vowes retribution against the "American infidel's" and then Al-Qaida attacks and kills 46 people in Iraq?
Al-Qaida attacks America on 9/11 kills hundreds of our people, causes us to loose many of our freedoms by causing major inconveniences everywhere we turn, and when we attack them we are the aggressors....Sheesh. In America we live by 2 standards, liberal- you give me your eye and everything is good, conservative- an eye for an eye. But with Al-Qaida's standard they will take your eye, and when we attempt to take theirs, they will take your other eye for trying to take theirs, and kill 20 innocent bystanders.....
