Iraq's Qaeda vows to keep fighting after Zarqawi-Web

DUBAI, June 8 (Reuters) Iraq's al Qaeda today vowed to maintain its fight against the US occupation and Baghdad's government after the killing of its leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The group, in a statement posted on an Islamist Web site, also renewed its support for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

''We tell our prince, Sheikh bin Laden, your soldiers in al Qaeda in Iraq will continue along the same path that you set out for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,'' said the statement, which could not be immediately authenticated.
