Warnings from Islam's 'messianic whirlpool'
Jihadists in global frenzy over coming of prophesied 'Mahdi'
Some of the documents obtained in a sweep of Internet communications just before the attack on the Madrid trains are signed by an unknown sheikh – assumed to be a nom de guerre for Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or others in leadership in al-Qaida.
The communications make a number of predictions about world events pointing to "The coming of the Mahdi" – a messianic figure Muslims expect to come and lead them in victory against the infidels in the last days.
Two European countries will be attacked.
Another attack is planned against the U.S.
Followers are asked to get rid of euros and as true Muslims replace them with gold.
There will be an assassination attempt against a high-ranking Egyptian official.
A mass gathering of jihad warriors is expected in the cities of the twin holy mosques Mecca and Medina.
A divine signal will be given when three celestial stars will be aligned on one axis.
The appearance of a new star, never seen before, will be in plain sight to all humanity.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf and Yasser Arafat will be annihilated in the same month.
