| Bulgarians pursuing religious studies at Jordan universities are being lured into al-Qaeda’s terrorism network, Bulgarian 24 Chasa daily said Wednesday. According to the article’s author, the information came from some Istanbul journalists who were familiar with a special services report on worldwide-spread terrorism. In 1999, Afghan radical groups prepared a plan for recruiting religious studies scholars from Jordan universities, the newspaper claims. Al-Qaeda is also eyeing youths from Romania, Bosnia, Macedonia and the province of Kosovo, the article says. Those who develop the perfect skills for enticing new al-Qaeda followers themselves, travel back to their homelands and start "preaching." As for those who are less clever but prove to be fanatically devoted to the group, they leave for Afghanistan to take the lead of fighters’ parties, the article explains. |
