Claim: Egypt's envoy in Iraq killed

CNN reported Egypt's top envoy to Iraq, Ihab al-Sherif, has been killed, according to a Web posting Thursday attributed to al Qaeda in Iraq. "...We, the al Qaeda in the land of the two rivers, announce that the verdict of God against the ambassador of the infidels, the ambassador of Egypt, has been executed, praise be to God," the statement said. Islamic militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi heads al Qaeda in Iraq. The statement was posted on a Web site commonly used by the group to make statements.

al-Zarqawi must really be stupid. He is trying to run an insurrection in a country he is not even from, and he kills innocent citizens of that country, and announces that the Iraqi military is his enemy, just as are the Americans, and now he decides to get the Egyptian secret police after him also.
