Al Qaeda leader threatens India in latest video
 A video received by the BBC from an Al Qaeda leader believed killed last year warned India that it would have to pay a 'heavy price' if it tried to attack Pakistan. Sheikh Mustafa Abu Yazeed, who had been operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan, was reported killed in a US drone strike in August 2008. In the 20-minute video in Arabic, Yazeed said: "We will bring mujahideen and suicide attackers from all over the Muslim world to confront you [India]. They will target your economic centres and raze them to the ground," Yazeed said in the video sent to BBC. He said Al Qaeda leader Aiman Al-Zawahiri had made the decision to kill former Pakistani prime minister and PPP chairwoman Benazir Bhutto. The Al Qaeda leader also criticised the Pakistani government and army. He also denounced the ban on militant organisations in Pakistan following the Mumbai attacks. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-10 |
