SUNNI TRIBAL HEAD IN IRAQ: AL-QAEDA A CANCER IN OUR LAND

Sheikh Majd Suleiman, head of the Al-Duleim tribes in Al-Anbar, has accused Al-Qaeda in Iraq of "fighting the residents of the country, not the Americans" and called the organization "a cancer in our land."

He added that in light of the indiscriminate attacks that Al-Qaeda had carried out, the tribes in Al-Anbar had decided to fight against it.
