Salafists Call For Strikes In Europe
2005-08-25
For the first time, a leading Al Qaida-aligned group has called for Islamic attacks in Europe. The Salafist Brigade for Call and Combat has called on Muslims to strike targets in France. The Salafist group called on "Muslim brothers in France" to track and ambush senior officials in France. The group designated French officials in the field of politics, military and economy as targets. "Our real enemies aren't only the military rulers, but also numerous civilians known for their allegiance to French leaders," the Salafist Brigade said in a statement posted on an Al Qaida-aligned website. "Support your brothers in Algeria by tracking these criminals in France."

#7  It guess it depends on how assimiliated they are. If they get the European mindset, when told the Strike, they'll all walk off their jobs.

#5  gromgru, the top politicians don't have to be the target. How well can France defend all of the ministers, mayors, police chiefs, principals of schools and their families?

Effectiveness in Assassination depends on how uncivilized Al Queda wants to be.

AQ hasn't used assasination as a tactic in the West, which is in a way surprising since history says its a more effective tatic than random bombings.

It's also a lot harder + a lot less sutisfying to certain types of mentality cf. Al Qaeda’s Fantasy Ideology By Lee Harris
