| Al-Masri Brigades roll eyes, grimace ferociously at Europe... |

| Meanwhile, a group linked to Al-Qaeda purportedly issued yet another threat to attack targets in Italy and across Europe after Rome ignored an ultimatum to leave Iraq and other European countries spurned a truce offer. "While our weapons are directed at (Italian Prime Minister Silvio) Berlusconi, we target all of Europe," said a statement signed by the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades-Al-Qaeda organization, and posted on an Islamist website. "The mujahedeen will not desist from jihad (holy war) in Europe so long as one (European) soldier remains on the land of Islam and Muslims," said the statement, whose authenticity could not be independently verified. |

| #2 I'm beginning to think these guys have shot their wad. Lot's of mouthing but no action. If they were going to stirke Europe they should have done so during the Olympics, either at the Olympics or somewhere else while resources are redirected to protect the Olympics. Half Europe is on vacation! And if they don't hit the U. S. before the election, Bush should start taunting them again. I'm starting to think we've got their number. |
