"A hitherto unknown group of Iraqi Islamists called for guerrilla attacks against occupying forces in Iraq, saying in a videotape broadcast on Saturday it was the only way to free the country. The five masked men shown on the tape, which was broadcast by Dubai-based Al Arabiya television, said they belonged to the White Flags, Muslim Youth and Army of Mohammad organizations.
"We want to tell other organizations that guerrilla warfare is the only way to free the country and we want to say that foreign troops who were sent here must be attacked to prove to the world that we are against occupation," said one of the men. "We warn countries of the world, and for the last time, not to send troops into Iraq," the speaker said in the video tape which was dated Aug 9. The five men, seated in a row on the floor against a wall, were holding black grenade launchers and their faces were wrapped in traditional checked Arab head-dresses."
