Dubai: Militants claiming association with a variety of Islamist groups, vowed more attacks on US-led occupation troops in Iraq while condemning the car bomb blast outside the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad, according to a video aired by the Dubai-based Arabic TV on August 10.

The attack on the Embassy, which killed 14 people and wounded more than 50, was an act of sabotage carried out by spies and traitors to undermine the resistance to the occupation, said one of at least five gunmen appearing on the video.

The hooded militants claimed to be in contact with a variety of organisations called "White Flags," "Muslim Youth" and "Mohammed's Army" in Baghdad, Fallujah to the West, and Baquba North of the Iraqi capital - cities where US troops have regularly come under attack.

Guerrilla warfare is the only way of liberating the homeland, the group said. They chided "turbaned" men, a reference to Muslim clerics, for failing to declare "jihad', or holy war, against occupation forces.

The statement contained a final warning to foreign countries against sending troops to Iraq to operate alongside US forces.
