The al Qaeda linked terror group in North Africa, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, has issued a statement that they intend to carry out a terror attack on the World Cup soccer games this summer in South Africa. Now, this is a bit like Hamas saying that they will conduct an attack on Tokyo but let's look at the targets they site in their threat, from the article at CBS News:
You know, when you look at that statement a time or two, it encapsulates the mind of an islamic terrorist - the randomness of death in a stadium that could be filled with thousands of people from all over the world - sure, they mention the Americans and Brits but these terrorist swine know that an attack like they describe would kill many who are South African, Spaniards, Italians, Nigerians, etc. This is the mantra of islam - our way or death, no matter who you are. And the truly evil part of it all is this: what the radical islamists truly believe is that anyone, ANYONE that is even present in the midst of infidels is a righteous target for death as well.
It's my feeling that over the years now, the entire world has become no numbed down by these constant threats of violence by islamists that a story like this literally gets buried on some third rate news blog like at CBS News. What does this mean? In another five years, are we all going to just accept violent threats like this? Is it going to be like the Obama administration and America explaining away the incompetent who occupies the Vice President's chair with laughing and jokes?
"How amazing could the match United States vs. Britain be when broadcasted live on air at a stadium packed with spectators when the sound of an explosion rumbles through the stands, the whole stadium is turned upside down and the number of dead bodies are in their dozens and hundreds, Allah willing," reads a statement the group published in a recent issue of the Jihadi online magazine Mushtaqun Lel Jannah (Longing to Paradise).

Qaeda Groups Threatens to Attack World Cup
The North African terror group al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has threatened to attack this summer's World Cup games in South Africa.
"How amazing could the match United States vs. Britain be when broadcasted live on air at a stadium packed with spectators when the sound of an explosion rumbles through the stands, the whole stadium is turned upside down and the number of dead bodies are in their dozens and hundreds, Allah willing," reads a statement the group published in a recent issue of the Jihadi online magazine Mushtaqun Lel Jannah (Longing to Paradise).
The statement also highlights recent actions by the terrorism group such as the December suicide bombing that killed seven CIA employees and a Jordanian agent at a base in Eastern Afghanistan last December and the Christmas Day bombing attempt that resulted in the arrest of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who has been cooperating with the FBI and providing information about his contacts in Yemen and the al Qaeda affiliate that operates there.
Special Report: The Christmas Day Terror Attack
"Al Qaeda, who managed to deliver 50 grams of explosives to the Detroit plane, after infiltrating dozens of U.S. security barriers, al Qaeda, who enabled brother martyr Abul Kheir (Abdullah Asiri) to get into the palace of Mohammed bin Nayef, al Qaeda, who humiliated the world's greatest intelligence apparatus through the operation of Mujahid Abu Dujana al-Khorassani (Humam al-Balawi), who shattered the pride of the CIA and the Jordanian intelligence combined," the statement says. "Al Qaeda will have a presence in the games, Allah willing."
In addition to the U.S. and U.K. teams, the teams representing France, Germany and Italy are also on the group's list of targets.
"All those countries are part of the Zionist-Crusader campaign against Islam," the statement says.
The group says they will use some undetectable explosive that will be able to circumvent security checkpoints at the games. The statement appears to directly challenge FIFA's president Joseph Blatter.
"All the security checks and X-ray machines that America will be sending after reading this article would not be capable of detecting how those explosives made it into the stadium and that for a simple reason that we will be announcing in due course," the statement says. "So are your preparations for this event up to scratch, Mr. Platter? (sic)"
South Africa had announced last October that its security forces had foiled an al Qaeda plot to carry out a terrorist attack during the 2010 football World Cup. According to reports published then, South Africa's National Intelligence Agency, senior police forces and American agents jointly conducted the operation, which led to the arrest of a number of suspects linked to the group in Somalia and Mozambique working on a plot to carry out bomb attacks during the games.
