Fears of an Al Qaida strike against Israel
Jun 13,2008
Marc Perelman reports in the Forward that “a recent flurry of signals from Al Qaeda leaders has fueled concerns among terrorism experts that Al Qaeda could be setting up to launch an attack on Israel.”
The worries about an impending attack actually grow out of the apparent struggles of the terrorist network, visible in mounting criticism from former members and leading Muslim theologians.
In recent weeks, the CIA chief has claimed that Al Qaeda had suffered setbacks in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and lengthy exposés in The New Yorker and The New Republic have detailed the inner debates raging within Al Qaeda, especially due to resentment over its indiscriminate killing of Muslims.
This perceived weakening has some experts predicting that Al Qaeda leaders would seek to repair the group’s image — and prove the skeptics wrong — with a spectacular attack on Israel, the one target on which all Muslim extremists seem to be able to agree.
The New Republic and the New Yorker both have long articles about Al Qaida’s problems in the Muslim world.

One Response for "Fears of an Al Qaida strike against Israel"
I would be more concerned about what Israel is planning to do in the near future in order to blame onto non existent Muslim terrorists.
I believe this whole war on terror is the great cat and mouse game,
Cats are bored and mice need to prove their more then just mice.
Lets face it, The CIA, the Mosssad and Al-qaeda, are all one of the same. (ps. say hello to Bin Laden for me)
One Christian, One Jew, One Muslim, It’s the perfect game and it’s making Trillions of dollars. &
It’s moving the world closer to a one state one dictatorship world government.
And if you don’t fall in line you will be called a terrorist,
Right now Israel and the USA are hard at work building massive data banks with your photo, banking info,life styles, you name it they got it.
Right down to your medical records and what you have been immunized against.
So come on everyone line up, grab a gun and lets go shoot us up some Irishmen opps sorry Nigros noo wait lets try that one again ,Indians, Jews no wait we can’t say Jew because that is what the Nazi Faschist did that already, Okay then the only ones left are Muslims then.
have you ever herd the term never corner an animal unless you got a big gun and you intend to shoot it because if you don’t he might slip away.
