DUBAI (Reuters) – An al Qaeda-linked group has said it carried out the twin suicide bombings that killed 155 people in Baghdad on Sunday and revived doubts about security in the run-up to Iraq's elections in January.

The statement dated October 26 was posted by the Islamic State in Iraq group on a website often used by militants to announce responsibility for such attacks.

"Suicide bombers targeted the dens of infidelity and pillars of the rejectionist Shi'ite state in the land of the caliphate," the statement said.

It employed language often used by Sunni Arab militants to describe the Shi'ite Muslim majority that has dominated the Iraqi government since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003.

"Among the chosen targets were the ministry of oppression known as the ministry of justice and the Baghdad provincial assembly ... The enemies only understand the language of force," said the statement.

The authenticity of the claim could not be immediately verified.

The same group has said it was behind attacks near government ministries in Baghdad that killed 95 people in August.

Officials have said two mini-buses were used in Sunday's attacks, circumventing a ban on truck traffic in heavily policed central Baghdad.

Both were driven by suicide bombers from a nearby site, according to aerial images from U.S.-operated airships that hover over the city.

The January ballot is expected to focus on security gains under Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki after years of war and sticky questions about the distribution of power and oil wealth.

Insurgents are widely expected to try and upset an electoral process that is meant to prepare the way for an ordered withdrawal of most U.S. troops from Iraq.

So ,Class of 59,one person's de facto ruler is not another's....at least you skipped down from Olympus to compliment their spelling . What an anal show off you are "Sport Fisherman" in Fla. somebody break out the glasses for some 30 year old Scotch.If it were not for V.P. Biden's connections on the Hill and his Irish Catholic Good Fellas ,your "One" would still be a "well spoken" gleam in Saul Alinsky's eye. P.S. zippy-I thought the Richelieu' analogy was accurate enough,if not a bit partisan .But,given the toxic climate ,understandable.

Joe is right of course, nobody cares what Cheney says - which is why the White House responded immediately, Dems continue to talk about it, and the news media are all over it. Joe needs to get a little attention now because he knows no one will be interested in what HE has to say when he is the ex-Veep.

Joe baby needs some of that public option nonsense health care to get the necessary surgery to remove his foot! AGAIN.

Go, Joe Biden! Cheney is the one who said that he'd like to see the region in perpetual state of war. He is a violent man, a war monger, who believes in torture and gives the finger to international law and treaties. If Americans value the constitution and the principles of the founding fathers, Cheney would have been impeached and spent the rest of his life in jail like Madoff.

The bad economy is the result of Bush's policy of "everything goes to the rich." Obama made a huge mistake by continuing Bush's wars and bailing out Wall Street crooks. I hope he realizes that before it's too late.
