The world is on Al-Qaeda alert - and Israel has been the most recent to be targeted.
It was reported today that on Friday night, the Jordanians thwarted an attempted Al-Qaeda terrorist infiltration into Israel. Israeli security personnel near Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin in the Beit She'an Valley heard gunshots, and upon arriving on the scene, learned that the fire was coming from the Jordanian side of the border. It was then learned that a terrorist had been trying to infiltrate into Israel, was shot at and arrested by Jordanian officials - and led his investigators to five other terrorists, members of an Al-Qaeda gang that had targeted Israel.
Israeli intelligence officials say that the recent attacks in Turkey are apparently the harbinger of a wave of international terrorism. Al-Qaeda has recently threatened a mega-attack in the United States, and has even called on all Moslems to leave the country. Officials in many Western countries, including Britain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Argentina, are on the alert for attacks that could happen in the coming days.
In a related item, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyasah reports that European countries plan to expel thousands of Moslem "refugees" beginning in February 2004. The paper quotes a British diplomat to the effect that rising terrorism has led the EU to decide to formulate a joint counter-terrorism plan - including the expulsion of Middle Eastern, Asian and African Moslems. Preparations for the deportations have already begun. "This will be a quick and immediate procedure to prevent the terrorism war from arriving in other European capitals," the British diplomat said. In addition to Great Britain, other countries that have agreed to this step are France, Spain and Italy - despite their objections to similar plans for many years. Some of the candidates for deportation are wanted by their native governments. "Their fate is up to their own governments," the diplomat was quoted as saying. "Throughout the years in which they lived amongst us, they showed ungratefulness for the protection we provided them."
Some 28 million Moslems currently live in the European Union, of whom 25% are citizens and another 40% are illegal aliens.

What a novel idea, removing terrorist muslims from your home.
