Al-Qaeda vows to hit China over Uighur unrest
by Polly Hui 1 hr 48 mins ago
HONG KONG (AFP) – Al-Qaeda is threatening for the first time to attack Chinese interests overseas in retaliation for the deaths of Muslims in the restive region of Xinjiang, according to a risk analysis group.
The call for reprisals against China comes from the Algerian-based offshoot Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), according to a summary of its report sent to AFP by the international consultancy Stirling Assynt.
"Although AQIM appear to be the first arm of Al-Qaeda to officially state they will target Chinese interests, others are likely to follow," said the report, which was first divulged by the South China Morning Post Tuesday.
Osama bin Laden's network has not previously threatened China, but the Stirling report said a thirst for vengeance over Beijing's clampdown in Xinjiang was spreading over the global jihadist community.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese work in the Middle East and North Africa, including 50,000 in Algeria, estimated the group, which has offices in London and Hong Kong providing risk advice to corporate and official clients.
"This threat should be taken seriously," Stirling said, basing its information on people who it said had seen the AQIM instruction.

Ping!
Al-Qaeda? Chicoms? I’ll root against both...
Good, let then screw around with CHina for awhile....
Excellent. The Chinese, who invented the Death of a Thousand Cuts, don’t pee themselves over waterboarding, which is a Chinese torturer’s holiday picnic, and will go at al-Qaeda like a dog at a bone.
China will go all Tianiman Square on any group that attacks their people, and they won’t give a damn about the U.N., or anyone else for that matter. They’ve got millions of troops to use in reprisals. Don’t forget that one of the four countries that come to meet up in the Pak/Afghan hinterlands where OBL & Zawahiri are hiding, is China, and they won’t have any rat crap Demotraitors to hassle with when they decide to send hit teams into get Al Quaeda and everyone *else* who follows or protects them.
China won’t read them their Miranda rights, that’s for sure.

Ping.
Thanks Tiger for this report.
Hallelujah. We will finally be rid of Al Quaeda. The ChiComs take no prisoners.
Al Qaeda will rue the day they ever made such a threat.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The Chinese will make them long for the good old days when waterboarding was all they had to worry about.
Watch for a glut of trichinosis-free livers to hit the market.
Here is Obamas big chance. Ask China if they will take all of our GITMO “detainees”. We can have them there in one day. The next day, nobody will have to worry about them anymore.
Chinese premier to rush to Cairo to give a “peace for our time with Islam” speech. That should bring harmony to all. Oh, and if he has a daughter, have her wear a J. Crew shirt with a peace symbol, just to make sure world peace is truely ushered in.
Hoo boy, will they regret making that threat.
The Chinese wanted the Uighurs back,but the Adminstration
was afraid they would be killed.
