Zarqawi Claims Sadeer Hotel Bombing Attempt to Kill Jews

In several communications, yesterday, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Mesopotamia (Iraq) claimed responsibility for the Sadeer hotel bombing. In a statement allegedly written by Zarqawi himself, al Qaeda claims that the hotel was bombed because "there were a large number of Jews and Israeli Mossad agents in the hotel." (full translation here)

On the progress front, though, the Iraqi Interim government now claims that 18 of 20 top leaders of the terrorist network have been killed or captured.

The two leaders that remain at large are Zarqawi and Abu Talha. Evan Kohlmann, of the Counterterrorism Blog, has a translation of the press release here.
