We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
This threat to Denmark and Italy seems to imply they have branches there as well, so I'm checking for groups that would fit.
Let me check to see if I still have the threat to Italy on my harddrive.
"Jihadist group: Denmark is next", September 12, 2004
This despite Denmark's bend-over-backwards sensitivity to its Muslim immigrants and its rapid Islamization. From the Copenhagen Post, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
The extremist group Ansar al-Zawahiri, which claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of two female Italian aid workers in Iraq, says the time has come for Denmark to face "punishment."
In a statement released Friday, the group gave Italy 24 hours to release its female Muslim detainees in Iraq, and issued a warning to Denmark.
"The time has come for Denmark to take its share of the punishment," the statement read, adding: "Both Italy and Russia have been punished."
I'm trying to find if this group has any connection to this network:
The following letter was recently published on a “member only” Islamic terrorist website where the poster purported that it had been delivered to the U.S. Ambassador’s office in London. It is signed – and apparently written – by Islamic leader Shaykh Abdul Monem Halimah Abubaseer Al-Tartousi who leads the Islamic Conservatory Centre, which has long been considered a front organization of al Qaeda, and al-Tartousi as Osama bin Laden’s mouthpiece in the U.K. Despite it's date, it was only recently posted to that website to the reception of cheers and calls for another 9/11-style attack on America.
In the month following the Islamic terrorist attacks on 9/11, the leader of this Islamic Centre was charged with complicity in the assassination of Afghan opposition leader Ahmed Shah Massood.
This letter constitutes a viable, direct threat issued once again by al Qaeda, conforming to the Islamist Qur'anic requirement that warning be given prior to the enemies of Islam prior to launching an attack. This particular warning is targeting one or more major American cities with total destruction. (British spelling left intact).
This is Italy's Fatwa....I am looking for the translations I have. I think I might have to continue after my kids are in bed though.
Be back

Thanks. I'll check into that and talk to you more later, then.
This is the threat I was looking for. It was issued August 2004. I had the original threat that was posted. But I can't find it.
The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, which claims to have links withAl-Qaeda, said in a statement issued on an Egyptian website that "this is a final warning to the Italian people."
"Either you get rid of that incompetent Premier SilvioBerlusconi or Italy will truly burn," the group said.Over the past month, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades has sentrepeated threats to Italy and Berlusconi, generally choosingmilitant Islamic websites to leave its messages.The group has given Berlusconi until this Sunday to issue atroop pullout order, saying they will carry out terrorist attacksif he fails to comply with their demand.
"We're giving Berlusconi 15 days towithdraw from Iraq. After that we will not be responsible for anyloss of life."
It said it was "mobilizing cells everywhere in Rome and inother Italian cities." Enditem
Speaking of Italy...
Did anyone ever find out what Al Gore was doing there with $35,000? About the same time the threat was issued?

Former VP Gore Robbed!

They just announced on Fox news that former VP Gore was robbed somewhere in Italy of the $35,000 he had! They had few details at this time.
That particular and peculiar hell that personifies the Jihadist has slipped out of its cage yet again. It must be put back in, and then the cage fumigated until there is no again.
Finally heard from my sister. Her plane was landing just as the bombs were going off. She had problems getting around but they're all ok. I am very relieved.
Glad to hear!
