Al-Qaida Tells The U.S. Military To Stop the Search For the Soldiers

The AP is reporting that the Islamic State of Iraq, an al-Qaida “front group” said to stop looking for the missing soldiers, they have them and the military won’t find them.

An al-Qaida front group that claims it has captured American soldiers warned the United States on Monday to stop searching for them and suggested it attacked the U.S. convoy as revenge for the rape and murder of a local teenager last year.

The U.S. military also said for the first time it believes the three missing soldiers were abducted by al-Qaida-linked militants after an attack that included three roadside bombs.

“What you are doing in searching for your soldiers will lead to nothing but exhaustion and headaches. Your soldiers are in our hands. If you want their safety, do not look for them,” the Islamic State of
Iraq said on a militant Web site.
