re- illnesses: then again, jihadis delivering food to restaurants or working in them could do quite a bit of damage on a fairly small scale. I recall reading how they could spread e coli on food----well- working in a fast food restaurant- all they would have to do is neglect to wash hands. Didn't one of the jihadi threats say something about McDonalds and Burger King? (Not to get too paranoid.) Interestingly, the ME who was taking the CDL course with my son said that he would NEVER eat in a fast food restaurant....interesting.
DUBAI (Reuters) - A purported statement from the group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an Islamic militant with suspected ties to al Qaeda, disowned a threat against Japan that was posted in Zarqawi's name on a Web site earlier Tuesday.
"To correct the mistake, we want to clarify to Muslims and the Mujahideen that the statement attributed to the group has caused us surprise and astonishment," the statement signed by Zarqawi's al Tawhid and Jihad group said on another Islamist Web site.
The earlier statement in the name of Zarqawi's group had demanded that Japan pull its troops out of Iraq or face attacks.
In the new statement, the group urged followers to be "careful, credible and avoid lies" in their attribution.
