Al-Zarqawi video labels any Iraqi govt a 'stooge'

In a rare video posted on the internet today, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden and said any government formed in Iraq would be merely a “stooge”.

He mocked the US military in Iraq for what he called suicides, drug-taking and mutinies and warned that “worse” attacks were to come.
