BAGHDAD, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Two Shi'ite militant
groups have claimed responsibility for deadly bomb
attacks on Polish targets in Iraq, saying they were
in response to the alleged torture of Iraqi detainees
by troops from Poland.

In a video obtained by Reuters Television on Sunday,
the hitherto-unknown Imam Hussein Brigades and
Imam Moussa al-Kadhim Brigades said Poland, part of
the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, had allied with the
"devil" America to kill Iraqis.

Four masked men, all armed and with one holding a
rocket-propelled grenade launcher, were seen
standing in front of black flags bearing the names
of their groups in Arabic script. One read from a
prepared statement.

Poland's ambassador to Iraq, General Edward Pietrzyk,
was wounded in a triple bomb attack on his diplomatic
convoy in Baghdad earlier this month. A Polish secret
service officer and an Iraqi were killed in the
attack.
