TERROR BLOGGERS CLAIM PARIS ATTACK PLAN
Forum Regularly Used By Al Qaeda Sees Wave Of Chatter
Over Strike Against French Capital

LONDON January 9, 2008 (CBS) - Recent postings on a Web forum commonly used by al Qaeda and its worldwide supporters threaten a terrorist attack on Paris, a European capital that has so far avoided the ire of radical Islamic fundamentalists.

We are a long way from the days when harvested figs and newborn Muslims were named "Chirac". To say France has "avoided the ire of radical Islamic fundamentalists" is to suggest she has assuaged the Islamites, something many a naïf Frenchie believed too, starting with Then-Jack and his clueless government.

One posting [on the al-Ekhlhaas forum on Jan. 4, 2008] in particular, by a forum member using the name "Murabit Mowahed," was written as a plea for Muslims in France to take up arms against the country, and offered justification for doing so. ... Mowahed then lists 25 of the city's most important tourist landmarks, or "legitimate targets," starting with the Eiffel Tower. He says with its cafe and museum-rich streets and its internationally-vital Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris makes a "symbolically important capital" to target.

... Al-Ekhlass forum members responded in droves, with many reiterating calls for an attack. One member, with the username "Abu Amina," claimed to have plans already formulated. ... Asked why jihadists should launch a new battle front against the French, Abu Amina responds: "We opened no front against France, France joined the war on Muslims long ago."

France has publicized no terror-related arrests for weeks, and the most recent dealt with suspects allegedly trying to send materials from France to Algeria, not smuggle people or goods into Europe, according to an ex-DST official.
