Terror leader warns Sunnis not to cooperate with govt

The leader of al-Qaida-linked militants in Iraq has warned against US attempts to convince fellow Sunni Muslims to back the Baghdad government, saying those who support Washington are “infidels” and would be killed, according to an internet audio recording.

“We believe that anyone who assists the occupier by any means … is an infidel and renegade and spilling his blood is our target,” Abu Omar al-Baghdadi said in the audio recording.
