Al-Qaeda gunning for Anglosphere in 2005
2005-08-28
It is claimed that Al Qaeda aims to hit the US, England and Australia within this year.

The South Korean Deputy, who claims to be relying on South Korean intelligence services, said: “Priority targets of Al Qaeda this year are US, England and Australia. Its second level targets are South Korea, Japan and the Philippines.”

The deputy, who preferred to remain anonymous, said the intelligence service relies on a top level Al Qaeda member, who was arrested this year. But the deputy did not give details about who this person was and where he was arrested.

France’s top anti-terrorist judge, Jean Louis Bruguiere, said in his talk to a British newspaper yesterday that Al Qaeda is preparing attacks in Australia or in the Far East.

#4  I dont think Al Queda wants to attack us here at home. They are not stupid and by now must understand that the americans with public opinion solid after a attack is unbeatable and can and will attack. More like hit our allies to try to divide our alliance and further erode our support here at home by the we are alone.

#3  I think you're confusing priority with capability, Captain: We're definitely #1 on their hit list, but waaaay down the when it comes to capability.

The latter is subject to change, pending the next election, of course.

#2  So they've given up on Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel and Saudi Arabia?

Wishful thinking. Reverse the levels and you have it right.
