Al Qaeda plans holiday attacks in Europe
WASHINGTON: Intelligence agencies have been warned that Al Qaeda may be planning to attack air and rail travel in Europe during the busy holiday travel season, CBS News reported on Friday.
Citing unnamed intelligence sources, the television network said the warnings came from interrogations of Al Qaeda suspects, who recently left Afghanistan and Pakistan.
“One suspect said plans for repeating the (London) Heathrow (airport) attempt were all prepared. It is now a matter of taking action,” CBS News quoted one Arab official as saying. “Al Qaeda’s strategy appears to be raising the pressure in Europe.”
In a move that has been puzzling intelligence agencies, Al Qaeda has been withdrawing well-trained Arab fighters from the mountains and battlefields of Afghanistan over the past six months while handing over its militant activities in Afghanistan to that country’s resurgent Taliban movement, the report said.
According to CBS News, the new information helps to shed fresh light on a key mystery at the heart of Al Qaeda’s decision to withdraw its Arab members, fighters and logistics experts from Afghanistan.
Rohan Gunaratna, head of terrorism research at Singapore’s Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies, and the author of “Inside Al Qaeda; Global Network of Terror,” said “We have seen that several hundred, perhaps five to six hundred Al Qaeda members who were located on the Afghan-Pakistan border, have now left.”
Gunaratna adds that these Al Qaeda members have returned “to their own home countries, particularly to Iraq, and also to other Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Yemen. We have seen a shift in Al Qaeda’s thinking, in strategy.”
According to CBS News, some of those who returned to their native countries in the Arab world and were caught have told investigators that the orders only specified Al Qaeda’s decision for the Arabs to depart Afghanistan. The choice of a route was left to Al Qaeda’s local commanders in Afghanistan, according to information given by arrested suspects to their interrogators. There is no consensus on the approximate numbers of Arabs who remain in Afghanistan, though Arab diplomats with responsibilities of tracking Al Qaeda said they suspected the number of active Arab fighters to run in the several hundreds in spring this year. agencies

Don't.
Unless you want a high voltage drama filled one, thrown in free as a bonus by the AQ and the Islamists!
You don't even have to carry your own towels!
They also plan to blow up US bound planes from India as per the FBI!
Good for them.
The software industry will be Islamic supported now!

Well, too late to worry.
Hakunama tata!
In the meantime if you see an AQ basket, shove a multipurpose Swiss knife in him and give your name as me.
I will go to the Court in a burkha as you and take them on broadside starting with their Koran as my defence!
See to it that the case is in the UK. They allow full cloak i.e. the burkha' niqab!
Don't ever take the case to France, they may undress me to check for authenticity!

lol, when I first read the title of this thread, I thought it just said "Al Qaeda Plans Holiday"... I was thinking, well, that's nice for them but hardly an important event...

Nonsense.
I would just go to France or Germany, the most vocal critic of the Iraq War. They couldn't possibly be attacked because the Al Queda freedom fighters direct their anger only at those who support the criminal Bush government for invading the sovereign nation of Iraq for oil.

Oh its all like the time when Sly Stallone refused to come to the UK because of the IRA... because LA is such a safe place to live...

Of course it is.
All he had to worry about here is the occassional rioting, gangs, brush fire, mud slide, flood, and some earthquakes. Nothing on the order of a near civil war in Ireland.
Note I'm being facecious.
