Algeria: Head of Al-Qaeda linked group threatens tourists in Maghreb

"We ask Muslims to avoid sites where there are foreigners, diplomats, businessmen or tourist."

From AKI, with thanks to Fjordman:

Algiers, 10 May (AKI) - Western workers in North Africa and tourists are going to be the prime targets of suicide attacks, Abu Musab Abdel Wudud, the leader of the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb said in a video released on Islamist websites Thursday - the first by the Algerian terrorist since the new group was formed in January from the Salafite Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). "We ask Muslims to avoid sites where there are foreigners, diplomats, businessmen or tourists," he says in the 19-minute-long video.

Announcing the intensification of suicide bomb attacks, Abdel Wudud outlines his group's strategy to strike in particular touristic venues in North Africa.

"Starting from now we have decided to increase suicide operations as a strategic choice in the fight between us and our enemy and we have therefore ordered all the leaders of our brigades to start recruiting martyrs," he also says.

"and we have therefore ordered all the leaders of our brigades to start recruiting martyrs"

Sad, very sad.

I urge all of the leaders to strap on a vest and leave the children/would be martyrs alone.

To all those who want to visit Muslim held lands...stay home....they do not want you or your money....if fact...they do not want the store keepers, the motels, or other tourists attractions to make money...

....save your money...buy a gun...

any Westerner dumb enough to vist muslims lands are stupid and deserve no protection and or sympathy.

i agree, zena...too bad my in-laws are in morocco right now.

my hubby & i are still scratching our heads as to WHY.

I agree to stay away from Muslim lands. I'm wondering if a few attacks against citizens of a few European nations might now wake them up to reality though.

Hey, as long as the infidels' wallets and purses survive the blasts, it's a win-win for the Jihadists.

I'll visit a Muslim land when the first synagogue, church, Buddhist or Hindu temple opens in Mecca.

Always wanted to see a worshipped meteorite.

Schwaben, it would take more than a few terrorist bombs to awaken, most, Euros. I, for one, wouldn’t venture into Muslim territory… come to think of it, at this moment, I’m surrounded, and this is America.
The call to eradicate tourists and other civilians is a prime indicator, these psychopaths are cowards. Cowards killing civilians is a safe bet… and, to send children, to do their heinous acts, attests to this fact.

...while they're sitting at El Oued awaiting orders to do just that.

Obviously these losers didn't get the letter that was sent out from prison by the other loser.

The loser in prison (forget his name and don't care)said how "unislamic" it was to murder innocent people.

These guys plan ONLY to kill innocent people,right out and up front.

So the lack of the TRUE islam confronting these people,by force or any other way only says to NON MUSLIMS that this IS TRUE islam.

Once again the lunatics that run the lunatic religion prove that islam is nothing more than lunatics.

I also am afraid that after such a long time of deafening silence from the camp of the "hijacked religion" that no matter what they do will be too little too late and not trustworthy anyway.

In this country and throughout all the free world there have been thousands who protested the IRAQ war.They have by the thousands given muslims themselves a chance to feel the acceptance of the free world of islam.

In return nada.More lieing,planning and caniving more of the roars of deafening silence.Everyday as far as i am concerned that passes with no outrage over the "hijackers" with no protests over the "hijackers" is one more day that proves ALL of islam is what it is.

There can be no denying it.
How could there be?

In islamic countries that have had thier precious leaders they care not to fight against the "hijackers".In the lands of hell where our men and women are dieing they fight them,the "hijackers" but only for the power of leadership.Once we leave it will be the same as any other islamic terd nation.

In fact they all go out of thier way to justify SOMEHOW and legitimize thier "struggle".

In legitimizing and justifying the "struggle" they are really saying " These are really good guys" and "these are normal people",the umma says this the imam says this and the shiek says this.

Yes we hear your silence loud and clear.

Yes we hear your calls that killing innocent people is "unislamic" (there are no innocent people in islam save for muslims themselves)

Yes we hear your calls that all will die ,no matter who or where or how because it is "unislamic",because it is true islam that murderers those who go against islam and refuse it.Or drift from the path even.

So enough chatter about islam already.I don't care what islam has to say it says the same thing over and over and over.

They say the same thing only in a different way.

So what? It's islam,the lovers of lunatics and the followers of satans laws.

They have said and HAVEN"T said all i needed to hear for years to make up my mind.

I will tell you i care what my people say and my leaders.

I care what they have done and what they will do.

I will tell you that our leaders have caused the majority of the world to suffer over the madness of the minority of the world.Too afraid to call islam what it is which is sick and twisted,pathetic and vile,disgusting and filthy.

I will tell you that the thousands that have died will pale in comparison to the amount that will accumalate.

What my people will fail to see is that this article speaks of a threat that really has nothing to with anything other than the rise of islam and it's EMPIRE,at whatever the costs and to whomever.

Continue to lay back in your comfy chairs and point the finger at yourself for all the wrong islam does and is and you will see,you will see.

BALLZAK....You are not surrounded here in America.The fact is islam is surrounded and could be crushed and painfully too.

The problem is the lack to do so and it's fault goes full circle in the political realm.

All they have to do is be honest and upfront with the west about what islam is and people would finnaly see the light.

The person that does this will be the political hero of this time.And the Military hero would follow.
