Attacks 'being planned against London'
April 19, 2004
Various groups sympathetic to al-Qaeda are preparing large-scale attacks against London, the leader of an Islamic group suspected of having ties to the extremist network said in remarks published in Portugal.
Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed, the head of the London-based group al-Muhajiroun, added in an interview with the Portuguese daily Publico on Sunday that last month's deadly Madrid train bombings were carried out by a group of independent actors who back Osama bin Laden's organisation.
"There are many youths who dream of joining al-Qaeda, but worse than that, there are many 'freelancers' who a
e willing to launch operations similar to those by al-Qaeda," he said. "The attack in Madrid was carried out by one of those groups."
"Here in London there is a very well-organis
ed
roup, which calls itself al-Qaeda-Europe," he added. "I know they
are on the verge of launching a big operation."
