IRAQ WAR ASSISTS AL QAEDA RECRUITING
Tue, 09-28-2004 - 11:41am
According to intelligence and law enforcement officials interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the Iraq war has emerged as "a rallying point for a seemingly endless supply of young extremists willing to die in a jihad, or holy war."

Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, dean of Europe's anti-terrorism investigators, said, "In Iraq, a problem has been created that didn't exist there before." The sentiment was echoed by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who said on Friday that the invasion of Iraq has "ended up bringing more trouble to the world," in part because it "has aroused the passions of the Muslims."
