Canada threatened by Al-Qaida over Afghanistan: report

OTTAWA, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Al-Qaida network has threatened Canada with terrorist attacks if the country still refuses to pullout its troops from Afghanistan, the National Post reported on Saturday.

The threat came from a document written by Hossam Abdul Raou, a member of the Al-Qaida information and strategy committee, the newspaper said.

The Canadians "will either be forced to withdraw their forces or face an operation similar to New York, Madrid, London," Raouf wrote.

The document was translated by a U.S. non-profit organization, the SITE Institute, which monitors the Internet for terrorist threats, the newspaper said.

The document also condemns Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for keeping troops in Afghanistan and refers to Canada's alleged attempts to "damage the Muslims" and support for a "Christian crusade" against Al-Qaida.

Raouf wrote that "despite the strong increasing opposition to spread its forces in the fire of south Afghanistan, it seems that they (Canadians) will not learn the lesson easily."

Canada has more than 2,000 troops deployed in Kandahar, working with NATO to fight Taliban forces since the mission started in 2002.

CAIRO: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will seek Chinese help for Cairo's planned civil nuclear programme during a visit to Beijing next month, Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said in remarks published yesterday. "The possible aid which China could give to Egypt over its civil nuclear programme to generate electricity will be one of the subjects of talks," Gheit was quoted as saying.

Mubarak heads for China after a November 1 to 3 visit to Russia. He will be in Beijing for a summit on Sino-African co-operation after which his visit will become an official one to the country on November 6 and 7.
