Al Qaida threatens invasion of Spain
Friday, January 01, 2010

The Al Qaida terrorist organization has threatened to open yet another front in its war with the West, according to a January 1 video message disseminated by the terrorists’ second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri. Speaking to terrrorists living in North Africa, also known as the Magreb, Al Zawahiri said that the reconquest of Spain – which was once largely occupied by Muslims – will not be accomplished without “disinfecting” the Magreb of infidels. These would include, reportedly, both Frenchmen and Spaniards.

The video showed graphically the inentions of Al Qaida, led by Osama bin Laden, to take the war to the European Continent as it showed a Muslim wave sweeping over the Iberian Peninsula, which it identified as “Al Andalus.” Images of a church in Cordoba, which once served as a mosque, were shown on the video as a goal of the projected Muslim reconquest. Muslim groups in Spain have insisted that the church be reverted to its use as a mosque. Security in Ceuta and Melilla – two Spanish cities on the shores of North Africa – remains tense. Incidents on their borders are almost a daily occurence.

Al Qaida terrorists are currently holding three Spanish aid workers and are demanding concessions from the Spanish government. The aid workers were captured by terrorists in late November 2009 during a mission in Mauritania.
