Zarqawi threatened by second group

From SMH

A previously unheard of militant group had threatened to kill al-Qaeda-linked Jordanian operative Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, the second outfit to do so in three days, Al-Jazeera satellite television said.

Al-Jazeera broadcast a video showing seven masked men, carrying guns, as one of them read a statement.

Calling itself "Seif Allah" (the Double-Edged Sword of God), the group threatened to kill Zarqawi and accused him of "treachery and allegiance to the (deposed) regime of Saddam Hussein".

It said it would "pursue Zarqawi and his supporters everywhere they go".

On Tuesday, a group calling itself the "Salvation Movement" vowed to execute Zarqawi unless he and his henchmen left Iraq immediately, according to a statement read out on the Al-Arabiya satellite news channel.
