Late al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Baghdad - Al-Qaeda in Iraq says it will carry out “100 attacks” across the country, starting in the middle of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, to exact revenge for the death of Osama bin Laden.
The terror group's statement was released on militant websites late Friday. It says the attacks will avenge bin Laden, who was killed by US forces in Pakistan in May, and other slain senior al-Qaeda leaders.
Monday marked the middle of Ramadan.
On that day, a wave of crushing attacks swept across Iraq - from the northern city of Mosul to the southern Shi'a heartland. At least 70 people died in suicide bombings, roadside bombs and shootings in what was Iraq's deadliest day this year.
