Al-Qaeda blamed for Europe-wide forest fires

Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a recent series of forest fires across Europe, as the head of Russia's Federal Security Service claimed they were set by arsonists as part of the group's low-cost attack strategy.

"One should note that setting fires to forests in the countries of the European Union is a new tendency in al-Qaeda's strategy of a 'thousand cuts'," Alexander Bortnikov said, according to state news agency RIA Novosti, at a meeting of heads of security agencies.

"This method allows (al-Qaeda) to inflict significant economic and moral damage without serious preliminary preparations, technical equipment or significant expenses."

Thousands of Korans should be hidden throughout forests. Let the jahadists know that burning a forest means burning Korans. Lots of Korans.

I always thought so too. I remember saying recently that I never heard of so many forest fires before in my life. You would here of one here or there, but not with the frequency you hear about them in the last few years.

They wouldn’t care. Stinking sub-human, sub-animal creatures.

Thanks for the ping. I wonder if we’ll ever hear about this outside of the UK publications.
