Terrorists Militants threaten attacks on Germany, Austria
 DUBAI - Islamist terrorists militants threatened to attack Germany and Austria if they do not pull their troops out of Afghanistan, in a statement posted on Sunday on an Internet site used by Al Qaeda linked militants. Germanys participation in the US war on Islam and Muslims will lead only to... endangering Germany itself, said the video statement whose authenticity could not be verified.
We wonder where Germanys interest lies in throwing 2,750 troops (to Afghanistan)... to fight in defence of the lies of (President George W.) Bush and his gang, read a masked man in the videotape released by the so-called Voice of the Caliphate. In standing by the United States ... You have provoked those whom you call terrorists to target you, the man said in Arabic, with German subtitles appearing on the screen.
Germany has about 3,000 troops in the relatively stable north of Afghanistan, where it commands the International Security Assistance Force.
| It's good they're there; it'd be better to have them in Helmand. |
The terrorist statement threatened also to attack Austria if its government did not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. Austria was and still is one of the safest countries in the world... But if Austria came on to the list of countries targetted by the terrorists mujahedeen (holy warriors), the situation will change, it said. To Austria we say: Your troops in Afghanistan do not represent a real force or a real threat to our brothers, the terrorists mujahedeen, but they represent important support for Bush and his gang, it added.
| Still a little unhappy about that whole Vienna thing in 1683, eh? |
Addressing the Austrian government, the statement said: Dont destroy the security of a whole country, just for five soldiers you have sent to Afghanistan.
This war is not yours. This war is between the terrorists mujahedeen and America.
