Pak unearths 9/11 style al Qaeda memo

ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON: Pakistani authorities have reportedly discovered an al Qaeda memo that warns of suicide attackers using weapons of mass destruction on Americans in t
he near future.

According to the Daily Times , Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin , an online subscription intelligence news service, says that these attacks will include the use of biological and chemical weapons, and that Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, under heavy US pressure, has instructed his security and intelligence chiefs to focus on jihadi suicide volunteers because of this emerging threat.

Topping the memo's list stands the US, although European countries are also specified as preferred targets, says the report.

The memo details a number of ideas and options for attacking the West and related to it is a Spanish Interior Minister Antonio Alonzo's decision to assign close to 2,000 security agents to a training and deployment programme on the danger of nuclear, chemical and bacteriological terror attacks.

The Russians too have passed on information to the Pakistani intelligence and security service about possible terror attacks, which has contributed even more tension to the situation.

According to them, many of the so-called "Arab mujahideen" killed during the attack on the school in Beslan had visited Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan on several occasions.

Similar claims have come from Britain where law-enforcement agencies are still in the midst of their recent anti-terror operation that began last month.
