The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, posted a statement on a website that carries Al-Qaeda and other militant declarations.
The statement said the embassy attacks last Sunday were a "new strike into the heart of the security plan" in the Iraqi capital. It also said "all diplomatic corps, embassies and international organizations" dealing with the Iraqi government are "legitimate targets."
The Islamic State of Iraq denied Friday that it had anything to do with another attack earlier this week, when bombs ripped through apartment buildings and a market in mostly Shiite areas of Baghdad, killing 50.
