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).
