GLOBAL JIHAD Assault on American targets to coincide with Iraq action

Islamist sources in London say terror network al-Qaida is preparing "a large attack" against American targets the will coincide with the expected U.S. war against Iraq, reports the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.

According to the report, which was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, the sources refused to reveal the precise location of the attack, but said it is expected to take place in Asia.

The story is similar to one reported by WorldNetDaily this week that an Islamist website is predicting an imminent terror attack against the U.S. The site published a religious exhortation on Monday claiming that "the train of death is on its way" within 10 days.

The report in the Saudi paper said that a "London Islamist referred to an electronic message he received from Asia which calls for the glad tidings [Istibshar] of a forthcoming new operation by al-Qaida." The Islamist said the operation could be against U.S. military forces in Afghanistan, the purpose being "to mess up" American plans and to "incite Islamists everywhere to carry out suicide activities against the Americans at the outbreak of the war against Iraq."

According to the report, the attack will be "huge and no small than the Sept. 11 operation." Sources said that terror leader Osama bin Laden will participate "only in [the operation's] funding."

The sources reportedly told the paper that participants in future terror acts may not necessarily be "direct members of al-Qaida," but rather could simply be in agreement with bin Laden's principles. "It is likely that bin Laden has provided them with financial support without necessarily connecting them with al-Qaida," the report said.

Rather than a WMD alert, I think we should issue a WND alert.

LOL

[Mr. Mojo]

The warnings could very well be valid, but WorldNetDaily has been a bit tabloidish for my taste lately, so I had to get in a little dig :)

I haven't heard anything about his in US papers but in Mexico they're looking for 3 Iraqis traveling up to the US border with a Mexican in a luxury car. Luxury car makes me think drug cartel, apparently they came in through the Yucatan and were headed to Monterrey. They could easily be over the border by now ---well into the US.

Buscan a iraquíes en el norte del país

Ciudad Delicias- El Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) alertó a sus agentes y a los de otras corporaciones e instituciones para que arresten a tres iraquíes y a un mexicano considerados como "altamente peligrosos'', quienes se presume viajan al norte del país en un auto de lujo.

I wonder if France will veto this attack?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Even if accurately reported it could easily be disinformation intended to support the anti-war effort.

Good one.
