Zarqawi 'preparing for attack on Europe'

[ECH1969]

Iraq's most wanted terrorist, Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is overseeing preparations for a major attack in Europe, Time magazine has reported.

Citing European intelligence reports, Time says Zarqawi "has been overseeing preparations by highly trained operatives for a large-scale terrorist attack in Europe".

Time does not specify the origins of the reports, but says Zarqawi has spoken of sleeper cells in Turkey and Iran "in communications with another al-Qa'ida leader".

French terrorism expert Roland Jacquard tells the magazine: "The fear is we'll see these disparate, relatively inexperienced groups around Europe hook up with Afghan-trained terror cells, all under the influence of Zarqawi."

And not do something about it? Someone please explain that to me, because I don't understand how that can happen.

She did nothing after receiving a memo titled "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S". Historical information, don'tcha know.
