In a video aired by Aljazeera Monday, they urged Iraqis not to deal with the "traitors," a reference to U.S.-appointed Iraqi officials such as members of the newly-unveiled Governing Council.

"We ask our people: what are you doing about the killing of women, children and elderly men? … We will avenge them and we will make the ground shake under the feet of those who killed them," said the men, who took turns reading from a sheet.

"We want to say that we will sacrifice ourselves for our religion and country … Liberate Iraq through guerrilla warfare," they averred.

"We will kill the spies and those who deal with them … We will kill any soldier sent by an Arab or foreign country to our land," vowed one of the speakers.
