Iraq Militant Group Posts Video of Mosul Attack

[Khephra]

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraqi militant group Army of Ansar al-Sunna Sunday issued a video tape about the bombing of a U.S. army camp which killed 22 people, identifying the suicide bomber as Abu Omar al-Museli.

The videotape posted on the group's Web site showed what appeared to be the explosion at the dining hall of the camp in Mosul. A later shot, apparently taken from a car driving along the base's perimeter, showed the ripped tent housing the hall.

A statement read on the tape by a masked man said the blast, which killed 18 Americans, was aimed at "striking fear in the hearts of the crusaders and their apostate lackeys."

One of the men read a statement saying another of the three - identified as Abu Omar al-Musali - would carry the attack by breaking into the base through the perimeter fence. The man reading the statement later embraced the bomber, who was wearing an explosives-laden vest

``He will take advantage of the change of guards. We have been observing their schedule for a long time. This lion will then proceed to his target and we will take advantage of lunch time. He will storm the dining room where the crusaders and their (Iraqi) allies are gathered,'' said theman.

The authenticity of the video, which appeared on an Islamic Web site on the Internet that in the past carried footage of attacks on U.S. troops, could not be independently verified.

The man reading the statement indicated with a rifle bayonet to a hand drawn map of the base. He also addressed a warning to President Bush , and prime ministers Tony Blair and Ayad Allawi of Britain and Iraq.

``Let Bush, Blair and Allawi know that we are coming and that we will chase them all away, God willing,'' the masked man said.
