Muslim Alert on British 9/11 Threat
(London Times) Nicholas Rufford and Abul Taher- In an acknowledgment of the imminent danger of an al-Qaeda atrocity, 13 leading British Muslim clerics held secret, emergency consultations over the summer organized by the Muslim Council of Britain to prepare their communities for the aftermath of a September 11-style terrorist attack. According to an associate of al-Qaeda in Pakistan, attacks on Britain have twice been postponed after representations from British Islamic terrorist-linked groups. The man said Bin Laden's organization had received a specific request "not to disturb London or any other British cities." He added: "They feel any such attack would greatly hamper their ideological work."
