| For the first time, a leading Al Qaida-aligned group has called for Islamic attacks in Europe. The Salafist Brigade for Call and Combat has called on Muslims to strike targets in France. The Salafist group called on "Muslim brothers in France" to track and ambush senior officials in France. The group designated French officials in the field of politics, military and economy as targets. "Our real enemies aren't only the military rulers, but also numerous civilians known for their allegiance to French leaders," the Salafist Brigade said in a statement posted on an Al Qaida-aligned website. "Support your brothers in Algeria by tracking these criminals in France." |
