The Islamic State of Iraq Praises Victories of Islamic Courts Union in Somalia

The Ministry of Information of the Islamic State of Iraq issued a message on Saturday, December 9, 2006, praising the victories of the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia. The Ministry asks Allah to help the brothers in the Islamic Courts resist the apostate government forces and establish an Islamic state. The group states, “We call upon Allah to enable the brothers there to break the spine of the apostates and their allies, and to establish the Islamic state on the land of Somalia, which Allah has glorified by Jihad.”

Calling attention to Dinsor, a town in southwest Somalia, the message praises the victory there of the Islamic Courts Union over Baidoa-based puppet government forces and their Ethiopian supporters, the Washington-based SITE Institute reported.
