DUBAI: A group claiming links to A Qaeda threatened to attack Rome to punish Italy for supporting the United States, and praised the bomb blasts in London, a web statement said yesterday.

“We warn Rome, the capital of infidels, that the lions of Jihad in Europe are ready to launch strong strikes against the collaborating government with the crusaders, the Americans, the enemies of God, the Prophet and Muslims,” it said.

“With the help of God, a group of honourable mujahideen carried out successful attacks on three (London) underground stations and a bus,” said the statement in the name of the little-known Organisation of Al Qaeda-Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula. It gave timings for each of Thursday’s attacks, referring to them as “explosions”, implying they were not suicide attacks, which militants normally describe as “martyrdom operations”.

Boy, they seem to have a lot of Capitals of infidels on their list. Wouldn't a capital be one location?

This is getting to be a lot of BS. Every once in a while, when those government bastards need more public support on some issue or when they see that their own job is on the line, they create these beasts: The lions of Islam, The Tigers of Allah, and so on. I wonder why there is no mention of the monkeys of Bush.

Because they aren't blowing things up.

But they are blowing things up...it's just for a "justified" reason

While that's true, Mo is not refering to Iraq, I'm quite certain he's refering to London and the recent terrorist attacks.

 

[I think not]

Why Al-Qaeda would warn a country I have no idea. Wouldn't it be more effective if they just did it and claimed responsibility afterwards? Or maybe its a scare tactic.

I think they pick names from a hat, while warning everyone at the same time.
