SNIP: MUSLIMS UNION WARNS OF TERROR ATTACK AGAINST ROME'S MOSQUE (AGI) - Rome, Aug 18

The national secretary of Italy's Muslims Union, Massimo Zucchi, warned that Rome's mosque might be the target of a future terror attack. Indeed, the Muslims Union received an e-mail from a group called "the new crusaders" which threatened to "blow up Rome's mosque within 6 months". The e-mail contains also "insults against prophet Muhammad, the Islamic religion and God himself". The terror attack will allegedly take place on a Friday, which is the day when Muslims gather to pray together. Zucchi called on local authorities "to weigh the opportunity to take all necessary security measures".

"Islamic cleric says Ireland is a 'legitimate target'"
By Mick McCaffrey
17 August 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A notorious British-based Islamic extremist has said Ireland is a "legitimate" target for al-Qa'ida terror attacks.

Anjem Choudary, who has close links to the infamous hate preacher, Omar Bakri Mohammed, said the use of Shannon Airport as a stop-off for US warplanes justifies Ireland being attacked.

The solicitor (38) said: "If your government wants to support the atrocities in Afghanistan they can expect some repercussions," and added that Ireland had "opened itself" to attacks from radical Muslims linked to al-Qa'ida.

Choudary even said that terrorists have the right to kill indiscriminately since American bombers did not pick and choose military targets in Iraq."
