FOOTBALL stars David Beckham and Wayne Rooney are the targets of a chilling al-Qaeda murder plot.
A terrifying internet video call to action for supporters of Osama bin Laden also fingers ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry for assassination.
It was launched this week on a Glasgow-based website named after al-Qaeda that regularly supports attacks on Westerners.
It has also been uploaded to the massively popular YouTube video-share site, visited by millions of youngsters.
The sports stars are branded EVIL for being CRIMINAL influences on young Muslims.
The sick film shows a picture of Manchester United ace Rooney with the headline: "Why do u love the evildoers?"
Beckham, who is now at LA Galaxy, is shown under the caption: "What made u among the losers?" And the slogan across an image of Henry asks: "Why do u imitate the people of desires?"
Alarmingly the video then flicks to a series of graphics depicting graveyards and bodies. One shows the feet of a CORPSE on a mortuary slab with a toe tag marked "Death".
A caption across the screen threatens: "Every soul shall taste death." Much of the soundtrack is a sermon given in London recently by a young militant cleric linked to radical Omar Bakri Mohammed, barred from Britain after praising the 7/7 bombings.
His rant declares that Muslims who are passionate about sport or music are hellbound like the "disbelievers" they admire. Other celebrities rubbished on the video include P Diddy and Justin Timberlake. It ends with the rousing message: "Rise up, oh youth!"
The threat comes in the wake of a security services admission that the number of Britons trained in Afghanistan terror camps is much higher than previously thought.
Terrorism expert Neil Doyle said: "There's no question — this video is setting sports stars up as potential targets.
"Choosing their words carefully, using double meanings and veiled threats, the people behind it are trying to stay within the realms of the law.
"But it's clear they're trying to incite — the images of dead bodies and graves is provocative and reinforces that.
"And the fact that it's out there on YouTube is shocking
There was a report that Osama Ben Laden had to settle a dispute between two Taliban warlords fighting over the same boy.This was causing so much conflict that he ended up finally killing one warlord and rewarding the other one with the boy.
I have a lady friend who made the foolish mistake of hooking up with Palestinian who has referred to himself at various times as a Sunni,Shiaa and Christian.He can’t keep track anymore.He and I have debated the Mohammed is a pedophile/homosexual pedophile argument before.Thanks for the sledgehammer, I will use on him next time.
