The first edition of the magazine of the al-Qaeda Organisation of Holy War in Iraq, posted on Islamist websites, also called on Iraqi security forces, who have borne the brunt of militant attacks, to “repent” and stop serving the “cross”.“Followers of Sunni Islam, rise up with your brothers the mujahideen (holy fighters) to conquer Iraq and after that other Muslim countries occupied by infidels,” said an introductory statement signed by group leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.“Ignoring jihad (holy war) is one of the great sins.”

And what’s with the long-winded name ‘al-Qaeda Organisation of Holy War in Iraq.’ Why not call it OHWI (pronounced owwee) for short?
