The group of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, Iraq`s most wanted man, claimed responsibility for the attacks in Baghdad`s Green Zone that killed at least seven people Thursday, in a statement attributed to the group.
"Two lions from the `Martyrdom-seeking Brigade` (suicide bombers), which is affiliated to the military wing of Tawhid wal Jihad (Unity and Holy War) group, managed to enter the US embassy compound inside the Green Zone in the capital Baghdad," said the statement posted on the Internet.
The authenticity of the claim could not be independently confirmed.
"This operation is one of the most successful operations carried out by your brothers in the Tawhid wal Jihad group, thank be to God. We will subsequently inform the (Islamic) nation of the details," said the statement signed by the group`s military wing.
