Al Qaeda Calls for Attack on Jerusalem

by Hana Levi Julian

(IsraelNN.com) While the eyes of the world are focused on the Durban II racism conference in Geneva, the international al-Qaeda terrorist organization issued a new call for an attack on Israel.

The deputy al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, urged the group’s Iraqi followers to sneak the borders and “liberate” Jerusalem in a new recording posted on the As-Sahab terrorist internet website on Monday.

getting closer...

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right

This will be a much more difficult strike than Osirak.

There are multiple sites, well disbursed throughout Iran.

Many are in buried in heavily reinforced, concrete bunkers. Multiple strikes will probably be required.

The Iranians are expecting an attack and have modern anti-aircraft missiles from Russia.

Osirak was a single target, above ground and suprise was total. Only one strike was needed.

Wait until Ahmadinejad’s plane touches down... BTW I think Israel should consider the possibility of an enrichment site under the runway... :-))

Fortunately, Israel is also more capable than they were back then.

There's an idea ... decapitation strike in addition to the regular hit.

I think such a long-distance mission is unlikely, although not impossible, and Israel certainly has shown it’s ability to launch operations to very great distances; the further out they were, the smaller the force involved (Eichmann’s capture involved just one or two agents I think; Entebbe was a small team of commandos and a few aircraft). IMHO, it’s more likely that Israel will strike more heavily against a nearer foe, such as the Hizbollah; it’s also more likely that it won’t be in 2009; for that matter, it’s more likely that the strike — wherever it is — won’t be until after the US election in 2010.

An Israeli strike on approximately one dozen targets in Iran could come with hours or days of receiving orders, according to an Israeli defense official quoted in the The Times of London.

I've heard this before...

John Chapin: Israel Prepares for War With Iran

Required, given the position of America's current administration. My favorite blog covered this months ago.

The United States decried the remarks by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as hateful

Oh, that's rich.

One of the programs on this Freeper link talks about Iran — and that Israel is getting ready to not only attack Iran, but I heard the person say “invade” Iran... hoo-boy!

Also, there is good information about Israel, in terms of Psalm 83 prophecy...

Good question, but per policy, they will make it when it is least expected even though they have made every possible move to let them know it is coming to get civilians out of the way.

You have to give Israel credit, they always give warning and yet, no one ever really knows when to see it coming.
