The Ansar al-Sunna group has purportedly claimed it was behind a deadly car bomb attack near the Iraqi town of Baquba last week, in a statement posted on an Islamist website.
The al-Qaida-linked group claimed it carried out a first attack on 5 July and another the following day in al-Khalis, north of Baghdad, which killed two relatives of a local official, "including the brother of the official, known for his hatred and hostility towards the mujahidin."
"On 6 July, when the infidels and agents gathered for a so-called memorial service, the group successfully drove a car bomb at the site where it exploded," added the statement on Sunday.
Warning
Titled Statement on the Liquidation of a Group of Spies and Agents, and signed by its "military wing", the group warned that other "infidels" would "experience the same fate if they don't repent".
