Insurgents Try to Derail Iraqi International Acceptance: Attacks on Diplomats
from Muslim States Newest Tactic

(2005-07-22) Iraqi insurgents linked to the al Qaeda organization in Iraq,
led by Abu Musab al Zarqawi, have launched a campaign of assaulting and
kidnapping Muslim and Arab diplomats in a determined attempt to undermine
international and regional acceptance of the new Iraqi government. Recent
