AL-QAEDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first large-scale terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.
Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an attempt to shake the Roman throne, a reference to the West.
Another plot could be timed to coincide with Tony Blair stepping down as prime minister, an event described by Al-Qaeda planners as a change in the head of the company.
The intelligence report also makes it clear that senior Al-Qaeda figures in the region have been in recent contact with operatives in Britain.
It follows revelations last year that up to 150 Britons had travelled to Iraq to fight as part of Al-Qaedas foreign legion. A number are thought to have returned to the UK, after receiving terrorist training, to form sleeper cells.
A member of this network is reportedly involved in an operation which he believes requires AQ Core authorisation. He claims the operation will be on a par with Hiroshima and Naga-saki and will shake the Roman throne. We assess that this operation is most likely to be a large-scale, mass casualty attack against the West.
Analysts believe the reference to Hiroshima and Naga-saki, where more than 200,000 people died in nuclear attacks on Japan at the end of the second world war, is unlikely to be a literal boast.
It could be just a reference to a huge explosion, said a counter-terrorist source. They [Al-Qaeda] have got to do something soon that is radical otherwise they start losing credibility.

Who is the real moron? Could it be the poster whose freeper name is the name of a woman’s sanitary pad?
Well not quite. They are still in Afghanistan and southern Iraq. Infidels despoiling Muslim lands by their very presence.
They might even call them names take away their iPods!
What makes you think he's ever gotten l**d?
Unfortunately, the picture suggests otherwise.
I think that's 'is Mum and Grand Mum.
Yep, he’s “4-F” to the core.
Lets not forget it will be an endless source of glass for Light bulbs, liqueur bottles, Christmas ornaments, windows, TV screens, beer mugs, oh goodness what a bonanza we could have.
You are definitely a capitalist and an entrepreneur. May God provide you the right opportunity.
“shake the Roman throne, a reference to the West.”
Geography and Classical Civilisation are obviously not compulsory subjects in the madrassas!
Something evil is coming and we are in a 9/10 mindset arguing if Rudy is a RINO.
Unfortunately, the picture suggests otherwise.
One is his step-sister the other his godmother so either you are very sick or maybe that thing is the norm where you come from!

‘How can this be?
The Brits have done everything AQ has asked of them.’
If they’re happy with Britain, they must be beside themselves with glee now America has elected a democrat govt that has already surrendered to AQ. . . .

We (the US) did this through the personage of our President, George Bush shortly after the 911 attacks.
We have yet to make good on it.
We have done so partially by taking on Afghanistan and Iraq, however the US response has been so weak and feeble, the MoHAMheads have actually been emboldened.
And it bodes ill that the US is perceived as having a de facto coup d’etat in process in the Congress.
To the MoHAMheads, there may be no better time to teach the West a “lesson” of epic proportions, dwarfing 911.
“shake the Roman throne” - If I were the Pope I would take this personally
