Ansar Islam group denies it killed Iraq cleric -Web

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L15520446.htm

DUBAI, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Iraqi militant group Ansar al-Islam denied on Saturday it was behind the killing of an aide to top Shi'ite Muslim cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, according to an Internet message.

An earlier Web posting from a little-known group with a similar name, Ansar al-Islam Group - Saad bin Abi Waqqas Brigade, claimed the killing last week of Mahmoud Madaen, an aide to Sistani who is a main driving force behind Iraq's Jan. 30 elections.

Some media reports at the time said Ansar al-Islam had claimed responsibility.

2. many of these murders are CIA, imo

or clandestine DOD.

I'm sure similar denials have been issued in the past, and ignored by the media like this one will be. I'm not even convinced there is a Zarquawi, who is the usual suspect in these murders.

3. Zarquawi? You mean that one legged dude who seems to be everywhere?

He sure gets around real good for having only one leg. Chimpy was even talking about him (to him?) the other day.
