An al-Qaida commander in Iraq close to Osama bin Laden warns of an imminent massive attack against the U.S. designed to kill as many as 100,000 people.
A leader who identifies himself as Abu Salma Al-Hijazi said in an interview posted on al-Qal'a ? "The Fortress" ? an Islamist Internet forum, "a huge and very courageous strike" has been planned, reports the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
The attack, which he anticipates during the current month-long Muslim observance of Ramadan, will "amaze the world and turn al-Qaida into [an organization that] horrifies the world until the law of Allah is implemented, actually implemented, and not just in words, on his land. ?"
Al-Hijazi vowed, "You wait and see that the balance of power between al-Qaida and its rivals will change, all of a sudden, Allah willing."
The interview, according to the article, took place in Iraq, south of Faluja, with five masked men carrying missiles and personal weapons surrounding al-Hijazi.
Al-Hijazi said al-Qaida is keeping an eye on detainees held by coalition forces.
"We follow their situation closely. ... The collaborating governments will pay the price for capturing these heroes who want to revive the glory of their nation and shake off the dust of humiliation and disgrace," he said.
He added the "collaborating and treacherous" governments should know al-Qaida has a long reach, and its members enjoy popularity that will not end just because apostate governments detain hundreds of al-Qaida members.
"As soon as the governments detain one of our people, ten like him join us. ... This is no secret," he said.
