Israel assesses al-Qaeda will target Europe next...
Israel's intelligence community has warned that Al Qaida could next target Israeli or Jewish interests in Europe for a major attack. Security sources said the intelligence community has determined that Europe is vulnerable to an Al Qaida attack. They cite the freedom of EU nationals, including suspected sleeper agents, to travel throughout Western Europe and gather intelligence and deploy explosives required for a major attack. "We are very worried that the next target will be Europe," a senior Israeli security source said. "We are very vulnerable there. It is easy to move around." The assertion came as Israeli intelligence has warned of an Al Qaida attack in Prague. The Czech capital is a favorite spot for Israeli tourists and officials have warned that they as well as Jewish installations could be a target. "But try and keep it to just killing Jews, Mahmoud. We wouldn't want to bump off any Euros. They might get mad at us and make a strong statement." Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-12-12 |
