We want to give you a one-month deadline to bring your soldiers out from the land of Mesopotamia (Iraq)," said the statement signed by Al-Qaeda group the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades and dated July 16.After August 15, "there will be no more messages, just actions that will be engraved on the heart of Europe."It will be a bloody war in the service of God," said the statement, the authenticity of which could not be verified."It's a message we are addressing to the crusaders who are still present in Iraq -- Denmark, the Netherlands, Britain, Italy and those other countries whose troops continue to criss-cross Iraqi territory.

"Osama told us before but as usual nobody will listen and the next time they attack Goverments will be again in denial of reality blaming "their hate of our values" and not our policies as the reason for their actions"
