Al Qaeda Warns India Against Attacking Pakistan
(NSI News Source Info) London - February 11, 2009: Osama bin Laden’s terror group al Qaeda has warned India against attacking Pakistan, saying it would have to pay a ‘heavy price’ if it tried to do so. The threat, issued in a video by Mustafa Abu al-Yazid – al Qaeda’s operative in Afghanistan and Pakistan – was received by British television network, the BBC. al-Yazid, in the 20-minute video, said in Arabic: “We will bring mujahideen and suicide attackers from all over the Muslim world to confront you (India). They will target your economic centres and raze them to the ground.” He further said the decision to kill former Pakistani Prime Minister and PPP leader Benazir Bhutto was made by al Qaeda leader Aiman Al-Zawahiri.
In the video, Abu al-Yazid also lashed out at the Pakistani government and Army, and denounced Islamabad’s ban imposed on militant organisations following the Mumbai terror attacks. The threat has also exposed Pakistan, which had claimed that Abu al-Yazid was killed in a US drone strike in August 2008.
