	SignOnSanDiego.com > In Iraq -- Ansar al-Sunnah Army gains clout, nearly outshining al-Qaeda in Iraq
		BAGHDAD, Iraq – The Ansar al-Sunnah Army has emerged from its roots as a little known militant group in the north to become the one of Iraq's deadliest terror networks, capable of carrying out spectacular strikes like last week's suicide bombing at a U.S. base and virtually eclipsing al-Qaeda's cell in the war-town country.
		Unlike al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Sunnah is believed to be made up mainly of Iraqis, and its apparent strategy of targeting only Americans and those viewed as collaborating with them – Iraqi security forces and Kurds – may have increased their support, in contrast to other groups that have hit more clearly Iraqi civilian targets.
		Ansar al-Islam was founded by Mullah Krekar, who has been living as a refugee in Norway since 1991.

	Maroc.NL - Ansar al-Islam spreads its wings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

		While Ansar al-Islam's ties with al-Qaeda might indeed be strong and growing, to describe it as an al-Qaeda surrogate, as have sections of the Western media, would be overstating the link.
		While the goal of Ansar al-Islam in its early incarnation was to achieve in Iraq "the Muslims' hope of an Islamic country where Islam and its people are strong", the organization increasingly presents itself as a pan-Islamic movement.
