Doha - Four masked men identifying themselves as Iraqi guerrilla insurgents warned on Sunday of more anti-US resistance operations in Iraq, while denying any link with Saddam Hussein's ousted regime.

"This increasing resistance has no link with what remains of the former regime," said one of the four men pictured in a videotape broadcast by Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite news channel.

Loyalists of the former B'aath regime were not capable of taking part in anti-US resistance "because they have neither values nor principles," said the spokesperson, cradling a Kalashnikov assault rifle, while his comrades wielded two more AK-47s and two rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

"We are members of the Iraqi resistance. We will fight the occupier to defend our religion, our faith, our homeland and our people.

"Resistance has become an insurmountable hurdle" for the US forces of occupation, the spokesperson said, warning: "We will turn Iraq into a cemetery for the invaders and colonisers."
