Zarqawi aide calls for attacks on Vatican, White House
DUBAI — The deputy to Al Qaeda’s frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, has asked for orders to attack the White House and the Vatican, according to an audiotape posted on the Internet yesterday.
“To our emir (leader) Abu Musab Al Zarqawi ... we say: We are ready for your orders. We are determined to fight the infidels,” said Sheikh Abdulrahman Al Iraqi in the tape, whose authenticity could not be verified.
“If you point at the White House or the Vatican, we would make every effort so that you reach your target,” he added, in the online statement broadcast a day after a call by Zarqawi to his followers to intensify their fight against the Americans in Iraq.
This is the first time that Al Qaeda, the terror group led by Osama bin Laden, mentions the Vatican as a possible target.

"France holds 'jihad recruiters'"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "One of them - 39-year-old Said al-Maghrebi - had been sought by police for months. He was detained in Montreuil, a Paris suburb.
The other suspect was arrested in Marseilles, while three others detained in the operation were later released.
Mr Maghrebi is reported to have trained with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
In January, 11 suspected Islamic militants were arrested in France, including Farid Benyettou, who police believe is a senior figure behind recruiting fighters for jihad - or holy war - in Iraq."
