More bluster from the terrorists

The Ansar al-Sunnah Army group has issued ultimatums to the Iraqi people.

Following in close succession to similar statements from Al-Qaida's Committee in Iraq and other militant groups, the Ansar al-Sunnah Army has issued two final "ultimatums" to the Iraqi people regarding the upcoming democratic national elections. The statements make clear that Ansar al-Sunnah is intent upon attacking voters, election centers, poll volunteers, and political candidates--even after the election is over. The Ansar al-Sunnah Army appears to be particularly focused on potential election targets in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. It is still unclear how significant these threats of violence will be in deterring Iraqi voters from going to the polls.

It remains to be seen if they can carry them out.
