Contradictory News of Zarqawi Threat Against Japan
By Heba Kandil
DUBAI (Reuters) - A purported statement from a group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi threatened attacks on Japan unless it withdrew its troops from Iraq (news - web sites), but a later Internet message on Tuesday disowned the warning.
The earlier message from Zarqawi, an Islamic militant with suspected ties to al Qaeda, said Japan should follow the Philippines' lead and pull its troops out.
The warning coincided with the release in Iraq of a Filipino truck driver a day after Manila withdrew its small contingent of troops a month early in response to demands from kidnappers who had threatened to behead him.
"This message is directed to the Japanese government. Do what the Philippines has done because no one else can help you ... Your fate will be like that of the Americans and others," read the statement posted on an Islamist Web site, which said it was from Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group.
But the later message, also purported to be from the group, said: "To correct the mistake, we want to clarify to Muslims and the Mujahideen that the statement attributed to the group has caused us surprise and astonishment."
Neither message could be authenticated.
Japan has 550 non-combat troops in Iraq.
The threat also warned Muslim and Arab states against sending troops to Iraq or supporting the U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's government. It also cautioned Arab and Muslim companies operating in Iraq.
"This message is especially directed to Pakistan, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Gulf Arab and Middle East states, to Indonesia, Malaysia and all Muslim countries ... We warn you for the last time that we will strike with an iron fist anyone who backs the Americans and Allawi and his gang," it said.
"To the soldiers of Arab and Muslim states we advise you to revolt if you are sent to Iraq. If you do not comply then columns of cars rigged with explosives will be awaiting you. The list of people ready to become martyrs is full and will not deplete, God willing," the earlier statement said.
The group led by Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born militant, has claimed deadly suicide bombings, assassinations of Iraqi officials and the killings of a Bulgarian, a South Korean and an American hostage.
At least 60 people have been kidnapped in Iraq and reported freed since April.
The United States has offered a $25 million reward for the capture of Zarqawi, its top militant target in Iraq.
