Iraq resistance still in operation

Al-Jazeera


"Al Jazeera has obtained video footage that appears to show that Iraq's resistance movements are very much in operation, despite the US administration's claims.

The US has been pointing to the decreasing number of violent deaths in recent months as a sign the country is being brought under control.

The footage shows the inner workings of the Islamic Front for Iraqi Resistance, known as Jami.

Deeply nationalistic with a slight Islamic leaning, it appeals more to Iraqis than extreme groups involved in global jihad such as al-Qaeda.

Formed in 2004, the group's stated aim is to drive all foreign soldiers out of Iraq.....

It is not clear how many fighters the group has, but it claims to have been responsible for dozens of attacks on US forces in northern Baghdad......"
