September 29, 2010.- The
jihadists are planning to kidnap and kill Westerners citizens in
similar attacks to those carried out against two hotels in the Indian
city of Bombay, the BBC said.
The alleged plot by Al Qaeda, detected
by Western intelligence agencies would be on cities of the United
Kingdom, Germany and France.
Intelligence agencies to investigate
both sides of the Atlantic, one of the most serious terrorist plots in
recent years, the BBC said.
The plan is supposedly inspired by Al
Qaeda leaders in hidden areas of Pakistan tribal areas and it is
believed that it’s going to be based on the use of small teams of
well-armed jihadists to act as commands.
The CIA stepped up its missile attacks
on Taliban insurgents in Pakistan, precisely to thwart such suspected
attacks by Al Qaeda, The Wall Street Journal said.
U.S. officials reported to The New York
Times that “only this month twenty Predator missile attacks were carried
out, more than double as the usual.”
France was at the highest level of alert
in recent days, after security services received reports about Islamic
terrorists, who were preparing an imminent attack on this territory.
The alert began after a group led by Al
Qaeda in the Maghreb kidnapped five French citizens in the Arlit uranium
mines in Niger, two weeks ago.
