Al Qaeda’s European wing, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, is promising “a bloody jihadist campaign” in France, for electing “Zionist Sarkozy.”
DUBAI, May 15, 2007 (AFP) - An Al-Qaeda front group in Europe threatened on Tuesday to launch bloody attacks in France in response to the election of “crusader and Zionist” Nicolas Sarkozy as president.
“As you have chosen the crusader and Zionist Sarkozy as a leader … we in the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades warn you that the coming days will see a bloody jihadist campaign … in the capital of Sarkozy,” the group’s “Europe division” said in an Internet statement addressed to the French people.
The campaign will be “against all those who allow themselves to follow the policy” of the US administration, said the statement whose authenticity could not verified.
The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades takes its name from an Al-Qaeda commander killed during the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001.
The group previously claimed responsibility for the July 2005 terror attacks in London, as well those in Madrid in March 2004 and in Istanbul in November 2003.
And here Sarkozy was already trying to throw them a bone: Shock as Sarkozy woos anti-US leftwinger.
