Group claiming al-Qaida links distributes leaflets in PA areas
A group claiming to have links to the al-Qaida terror network declared in a leaflet distributed Tuesday in the Palestinian areas that it would launch attacks against Israel and the United States. Israeli, Palestinian and Egyptian officials have expressed concern in recent months that al-Qaida was infiltrating the Palestinian areas. Israel last month indicted two West Bank Palestinians on charges of belonging to the group."We managed thank to God to establish the Al Quds Islamic Army group, which is affiliated with al-Qaida against the occupier," read the leaflet from the previously unknown group, which was faxed to Palestinian journalists. "From this land we declare... that we will target every enemy of Islam and Muslims and that with our fists, we will strike all Crusaders and Americans and Zionists."
It was not immediately possible to determine the origin of the fax, or verify either the authenticity of the leaflet, which was not distributed in the streets, or the group's claims to have links to al-Qaida. Posted by: Steve 2006-05-09 |
