PARIS - Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has warned that Sunnis in Iraq are the victims of "genocide," in an audiotape attributed to him and posted on the Internet Saturday, the second in as many days.
"The unarmed in the Land of Two Rivers are subjected to a campaign of genocide at the hands of the gangs of grudge and treachery," the speaker purported to be bin Laden said in a reference to Shiites.
"The (Sunni) Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq has warned against the genocide they are being subjected to," he said.
