Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 11:06 am
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 Sheikh Mustafa Abu Yazeed – al Qaeda’s operative in Afghanistan and Pakistan – was received by British television network, the BBC.
Abu Yazeed, 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 Yazeed 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 Yazeed was killed in a US drone strike in August 2008.
