Bulgaria is a legitimate target of al-Qaeda because it has sent its soldiers
to support the US invaders in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Lebanon-based Sunni
extremist group Asbat al-Ansar has announced.
In an interview for the Bulgarian daily “24 Hours,” Sheikh Abu Sharif, the
spokesman of Asbat al-Ansar, has threatened the Bulgarian government to pull
out its troops from Afghanistan before it is too late.
His statement was made in Ayn al-Hilwah Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon
in southern Lebanon in the presence of the leader Haytham Abd Al-Karim Al
Sa’di, aka Abu Tariq.

Mumbai Terror Scout Shot Footage of Indian Nuclear Site
Friday, Oct. 22, 2010
A man who admitted to scouting out target locations for the Mumbai terror
attacks said he also shot footage of India’s Bhabha Atomic Research Center
and its living quarters for Pakistan’s intelligence service, the Times of
India reported today (see GSN
http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20101019_3534.php
, Oct. 19).
Former Chicago resident David Headley told Indian investigators he was asked
by Major Iqbal, his manager at Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, to
scope out the Mumbai-based nuclear facility and its residential area as a
possible attack site. “He gave me the mobile phone camera (and) some
counterfeit money,” said Headley, who is now in U.S. custody.
Headley provided video footage of the site to Iqbal, but not to his contact
for the Pakistani-based extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has been
credited with carrying out the Mumbai strikes that killed more than 160
people.
Pakistan has denied any involvement in planning or carrying out the Mumbai
attacks.
