Al Qaeda threatens more attacks |
| An
Al Qaeda group claiming responsibility for a suicide explosion
Monday that killed nine US troops has warned more attacks may
follow. The Sunni militant group the Islamic State of Iraq has conducted several attacks in recent months including the April 12 suicide bombing inside the cafeteria of the Iraqi parliament building. The group says its prime reason for the assaults is their belief that both the US and Iraqi authorities are challenging Allah's "unequivocal" right to legislate, and accuse both governments of crimes against Sunni Muslims by their military forces. Last Mondays' attack of a US military base in the Diyala province was one of the deadliest against American troops in Iraq. The Islamic State of Iraq posted a message on the internet that warns of more attacks, claiming it has developed "new strategies for explosions" capable of penetrating both US and Iraqi security measures. The US military is reportedly alarmed the armed group has been able to execute its attacks so close to military bases where troops and personnel are stationed. The US is also concerned over claims by the group that it has obtained even deadlier munitions. The insurgents employed two truck bombs and gunfire during the Diyala attack. The first detonation targeted the US military base's outer barrier and the second was set about 30 yards from a building housing US forces. The assault brought the total number of US troop casualties 3,333, making April the deadliest month for US forces since President Bush's security crackdown began |

al-Qaeda linked insurgents have been killed and two wounded while
making bombs in a house in Pakistan's North Waziristan.The incident took place in Saidgai, a village 15 km (9 miles) north of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan.

Kenya arrests 11 suspected of al Qaeda tie
MOMBASA,
Kenya, 26/04 - Kenyan police arrested 11 people on Wednesday including an
Islamic preacher and a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of links to al Qaeda.
Dozens of officers launched pre-dawn raids on an Islamic school and three
other locations in the coastal city of Mombasa.
"The raid is intended to arrest suspects in connection with terrorism
activities and the al Qaeda network," said one senior police
commander who asked not to be named. The suspects are being held at two
Mombasa police stations.
Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy
in Kenya and for a hotel bombing four years later. Security experts say
the country is at risk from more attacks because of its proximity to
neighboring lawless Somalia, and the ease with which its borders can be
crossed by extremists taking advantage of their remoteness or easily
bribed officials.
Kenya`s Muslims, who live mostly on the coast and make up about 10 percent
of the mainly Christian country`s 35 million people, say they are unfairly
targeted by the security services. Residents caught up in Wednesday`s
swoops said they were forced from their beds and made to lie in torrential
rain for more than an hour while officers searched inside.
Local Islamic leaders also condemned the raids, linking them to an ongoing
U.S. visit by Kenya`s internal security minister. "We are always
being used as bait especially when the government is expecting aid,"
said Sheikh Mohammed Dor, secretary general of the Council of Imams and
Preachers of Kenya. "They are trying to please the United States at
the expense of Muslims."LINK
Report: Al Qaeda No. 2 In Algeria Killed
AP)
The No. 2 official of al Qaeda in Algeria was killed Thursday in a clash
with an army patrol, the country's official APS news agency said, citing
security officials. Samir Mousaab was killed near the village of Si
Moustapha about 25 miles east of the capital, Algiers, the radio reported.
It said Mousaab's body was identified by former members of the Salafist
Group for Call and Combat, an insurgent group that changed its name to al
Qaeda in Islamic North Africa when it announced its alliance with al Qaeda
in January.
The group was built on the foundations of an Algerian insurgency to topple
Algeria's secular government that erupted in 1992 after the army canceled
elections that a Muslim fundamentalist party was set to win.

Engineer Accused of Taking Codes to Iran
Saturday Apr 21 17:34 AEST
Australia and the United States have warned of an impending major terrorist attack in the southern Philippines, where Al Qaeda-linked militants recently beheaded seven Christian hostages. In an advisory to its citizens circulated late Friday, the US embassy said the attack could take place anywhere on Mindanao, the country's main southern island.
"The embassy has information that a terrorist group may be planning to carry out bombing attacks in central Mindanao over the next several days," the travel notice said.It asked Americans to "carefully consider plans" to visit the area, keep a low profile and avoid going to public places, including a national sports festival scheduled in Koronadal city from April 22 to 28.
Australia also warned its citizens against travelling to Mindanao and the adjoining islands of Basilan, Jolo and Tawi-Tawi, where Al Qaeda-linked militants are operating. "Recent credible information indicates terrorists may be in the advanced stage of attack planning," it said. "The attacks may be imminent and could occur at any time, anywhere in Mindanao."
It said there was a "very high threat" of terrorist attacks, including kidnappings.Philippine troops have been engaged in a two-pronged counter-terrorism offensive against the Abu Sayyaf, the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) on Jolo. MNLF rebels led by Islamic firebrand Habier Malik last week shelled an army base, killing two soldiers and a civilian and triggering heavy government reprisals.
Elsewhere in Jolo, troops are also on the trail of an Abu Sayyaf faction which on Thursday beheaded seven Christian workers seized three days earlier.The MNLF was the country's main Muslim separatist group until it sealed a peace pact with Manila in 1996.
Despite settling for limited autonomy, implementation of the agreement has been fraught with difficulties, with many hardline MNLF commanders still controlling armed units that constantly engage the military.The government said there appeared to be evidence that Malik may have joined forces with the Abu Sayyaf, which, like the JI, is on the US government's list of foreign terrorist organisations.
Several Indonesian JI militants, including two wanted for deadly bombings in Bali, Indonesia in 2002, are believed to be fighting alongside Abu Sayyaf militants on Jolo.
