Al-Muhajiroun: America had it coming
  • In London, Muslim cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, founder and leader of the radical Al Muhajiroun group, pronounces on the attacks in New York and Washington: "America had it coming". Mohammed told The Times of India, "Yes, it is Muslims who have done this. There is no one else who would feel that much anger against America".

    Al Muhajiroun has offices in London, in Pakistan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Mauritius, and is alleged to train "fighters" for Kashmir, the Palestinian territories and Chechnya. Sheikh Omar said that he had spoken to 68 groups since the attacks happened on Tuesday. "I have spoken to everyone, jehadi groups, radical groups, people who offer support of all sorts. You name it: Algeria's GIA, Hezbollah, Hamas, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e Mohammed, Tanzeem ul Jihad of Egypt — none of them know who did it, none of them claim responsibility, but everyone is agreed that these are the consequences of American atrocities".

    The Al-Muhajiroun leader added however, that he had not spoken to those close to Osama bin Laden. "We don't agree with bin Laden's methodology," he said blandly. (RASHMEE Z AHMED TIMES OF INDIA NEWS NETWORK)
