Mon Jul 23, 2007 11:44AM EDT

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's North Africa wing said on Monday
it was planning a violent campaign against "infidels" and
government forces in the region and urged Muslims to stay away
from possible targets.

"We call on all our Muslim brothers to stay away from the centers
and gathering (points) of infidels and apostates," the al Qaeda
Organization in the Islamic Maghreb said in a statement posted
on an Islamist Web site.

"The mujahideen are set to attack their quarters, centers and
barracks with all means of detonation, bombing and demolition
possible," it added.

1. They tried this back in the 1990s. Didn't get them any supports. It was

going so bad supportwise (funny how the locals dislike terrorism) that AQ had to switch tactics and attack the USA instead of places in the Middle East. Now North Africa. Doubt it will endear them this time. That's the thing with killing civilians. It never goes over well :sarcasm:

2. Well, who cares?

Did you see what's going on with the weather in Europe, Texas, Australia, everyplace else? Can we focus on the REAL threat to millions of lives?

3. Bush and Cheney are a real threat too.

The Bush & Co. response tends to be deadly, reactionary,
and downright stupid whenever AQ pushes their terror button.
Therefore, it matters.

I'll multitask.
