TERRORISM: Abu Hafs Brigades Call Sleeping European Cells to Action
Adnkronosinternational (Italy) ^ | 30 May 2005 | Unknown

Dubai, 30 May (AKI) - The Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades have called their 'sleeping' European cells to action with a message published on some of the most important Islamist internet forums saying: "We ask all waiting mujahideen, wherever they are, to carry out the planned attack." The message follows months of silence from the group which claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombings on March 11 last year and threatened Italy last summer.

This time, part of the message is addressed directly to the European cells. The first part of the 'Message to the mujahideen in Europe', however, is directed at the Iraqi groups and reads: "We of the Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades call on all our cells in Iraq to close ranks and start the bloody war against the enemies of Islam. We send out a message to America and its allies, wherever they are, to state that we will not let the sacrilege of the Koran pass unnoticed and there all be a reply in the future."

The second part of the message refers to the supposed attack that sleeping cells should carry out in Europe. "The truth about the infidel crusade has become obvious," the document says, calling on the cells to carry out the planned attack "after the infidels declared war on Islam, desecrating the noble Book that is the Holy Koran. But we also send a message to all those locked up in the prisons of the tyrants," it continues, "from Fes to Guantanamo: the dawn is near and so too is victory."

The message clearly states that it is the alleged desecration of the Koran by guards in the US-run Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba that should spur the dorment European cells to action.

In the last few weeks thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets in Pakistani, Palestinian, Egyptian, Iraqi and Afghan cities to protest against the desecration reported, and later retracted, by Newsweek magazine.

The authenticity of the latest internet statement, which is dated May 29, has not been verified, but it was published on the forums normally used for messages from the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, who is believed to have been injured. The message has prompted heated debate on some fundamentalist websites, among those who believe it is authentic and those who dismiss it as a fake.

They'd let sleeping dogs lie, if they were smart. Not knowing when all is lost seems to be an occupational hazard of islamic wackjobs.

I think it's just that these people are so addicted to hatred and intimidation that they just can't let go of anything, even if it's not true, or relevant. My solution: put all the militant Islamics on an island somewhere, and let them kill each other off. Or, a distant planet (good reason to continue space travel research).

Well I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why I should "respect" a Cult that states in it's screed that I am to be killed. I have nothing but contempt for Islam, and it's cult of death. They want me dead (as an infidel). So for all the PC crowd in the MSM, shove it. I don't have to show respect to people that want me dead.

Of course the BIBLE does say that in the end times, when SATAN realizes his days are numbered, he will unleash his minions to bring death and destruction on the world.

This is only going to get worse before it gets better. And people better wake up to that fact. These Demons are going to kill as many as they can before we finally win this thing.

No thanks to the PC,MSM, relativist idiots.

Yes I did. I was heartened to hear on FOX this AM, a man stating that there is no middle ground with these Crazies. They want us to convert or DIE, period.

Of course not. Future Jihadists are being born in our hospitals every day.

They want all people DEAD who they classify as infidels.

What do you do with someone who is willing DIE in order to KILL you? You MUST kill him first before he has a chance to KILL you.

America, do you get it? I hope so!

I do believe it's Abu Hafs al Masri - but the variation might be local. It might also be an indication of where these rascals are.

All the decent sized Islands are spoken for, unless we'd use one that is already occupied by Islamics. However there is a mostly empty continent available. While Antarctica doesn't exactly match their normal climatic conditions, I think it would be appropriate that the spend some time in a cold place, before moving on to a very, very, hot place.
