| Qaeda Says It Carried Out Embassy Kaboom |
| 2008-06-05 |
| Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Denmark's embassy in Pakistan three days ago, saying it was Dire Revenge™ for the publication of cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad, Reuters reported. Denmark was targeted as it didn't apologize for the publication of the caricatures, al-Qaeda said in an Internet statement yesterday signed by the group's leader in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, according to Reuters. The authenticity of the statement couldn't be verified, the news service said. The attack was ``revenge against the infidel government ... of Denmark which published degrading drawings of the prophet ... and refused to apologize,'' Reuters cited the statement as saying. At least six people were killed when a car bomb blew up outside the embassy in Islamabad. The bombing, the first at a diplomatic mission in Pakistan in more than two years, came six weeks after al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called on Muslims to ``cause damage to Denmark'' following the publication of the cartoons. |
