Iraq
Plot to bomb US, European countries revealed
2010-12-16
[Pak Daily Times] Iraqi authorities have obtained confessions from captured forces of Evil who claim al Qaeda is planning suicide kabooms in the United States and Europe during the Christmas season, two bigwigs said on Wednesday.

Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the botched bombing in central Stockholm last weekend was among the alleged plots the forces of Evil revealed. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, in a telephone interview from New York, called the claims "a critical threat."

Both al-Bolani and Zebari said Iraq has informed Interpol of the alleged plots, and alerted authorities in the US and European countries of the possible danger. Neither official specified which country or countries in Europe are alleged targets. Western counterterrorism officials generally are on high alert during the holiday season, especially since last year's failed attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Al-Bolani said several forces of Evil claimed to be part of a cell that took orders directly from al Qaeda's central leadership.

The confessions were the result of recent operations by Iraqi security forces, al-Bolani said. Links between al Qaeda's central leadership and the terror organisation's front group in Iraq are tenuous as the local branch in recent years has been run by local snuffys.

But al-Bolani said the claims - if true - show al Qaeda remains a presence in Iraq.
