Terror group Al-Qaeda will attack US Prisons in Iraq to take revenge for a riot in which four detainees were killed, an internet statement purportedly from the terror group said on Wednesday.
The shooting of four detainees and wounding of another six prisoners at Camp Bucca in southern Iraq on Monday will "not go unpunished," said a statement in the name of Al-Qaeda in Iraq that was posted on an Islamic website.
The statement's authenticity could not be verified.
"We'll punish you, God willing. We'll respond decisively to your crimes," the statement said. "We say to our brothers in the prisons of the crusaders and the oppressors: Be patient, victory from God is coming soon."
The US Military in Iraq has said the riot at Camp Bucca internment center near Umm Qasr broke out after a routine search for contraband.
The detainees threw rocks and fashioned weapons from materials in their compound.
