WorldNetDaily: Intel: Al-Qaida has 20 cells in Iraq

Western intelligence sources say al-Qaida has at least 20 insurgency cells in Iraq, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.

Most of them are in the Sunni Triangle, but others are located in both Kurdistan to the north and in Shi'ite areas to the south.

The cells began as small units but have expanded over the past few months as volunteers have been recruited from the Arab world and Europe.
