Qaeda figure urges Hamas "bombs, fire" on Israel
29 Apr 2007
An al Qaeda leader called on the Islamist Hamas group to fight Israel with "bombs and fire" in an Internet video posted on Sunday, days after militants launched rockets into southern Israel breaking a ceasefire. "Where is revenge, where are the bombs, where is the fire?" Abu Yahya al-Libi asked members of the military wing of Hamas in a video posted on a Web site used by Islamist militant groups. "Your loyalty to the blood of your predecessors, those loyal men, can only be through strict commitment to path of jihad ... and rejecting any other way," he said in the undated video.

Interior minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao is genuinely anti-Islamist and pro-Western and his special investigation unit works jointly with the American FBI - unlike Pakistan's powerful armed forces and intelligence services - involved in data collection and probes into al-Qaeda and Taliban activities in Pakistan.

Serbia and Montenegro believe that more Muslim radicals were operating in Montenegro. Serbia and Montenegro refer to these groups as "Wahhabis" (after the Sunni sect found in Saudi Arabia). This follows a couple of recent reports from Bosnia that "Wahhabi" radicals are aggravating Bosnian Muslims.
"Wahhabi" has become a general term for Muslim radicals in all three countries. One of the Serb reports said that there are up to 150 radicals in its own Novi Pazar area (southwestern Serbia). On April 20 Serb police killed a man suspected of belonging to one of the groups.
