DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on Wednesday declared a war on Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq in response to a U.S.-Iraqi offensive on the rebel town of Tal Afar, according to an Internet audio tape.

"Al Qaeda Organization in Iraq ... has declared war against Shi'ites in all of Iraq," said the voice which could not be immediately verified but sounded like previous recordings attributed to Zarqawi.

"As for the government, servants of the crusaders headed by (Iraqi Prime Minister) Ibrahim Jaafari, they have declared a war on Sunnis in Tal Afar. You have begun and started the attacks and you won't see mercy from us," it added.
