The Islamic Jihad Movement of Uzbekistan has issued a statement taking responsibility for a series of suicide bombings in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent. The attacks targeted the U.S. and Israeli embassies, as well as the office of a local prosecutor involved in a case against alleged supporters of that group. The communique further warned, "these martyrdom operations that the movement carried out will not stop.” The attacks killed three bystanders.
