Jews, Americans Top Targets in 'Qaeda' Document

DUBAI (Reuters) - A strategy paper posted on a Web site sympathetic to al Qaeda lists Jews, Americans and Britons as main targets, and calls on militant cells worldwide to "turn the infidels' lands into hell."



The document, describing targets militants should hit, portrays itself as "diplomacy written in blood, decorated with body parts and perfumed with gunpowder."


It was in the latest issue of a guerrilla warfare manual posted on Web sites that covers subjects ranging from ideology to weapons handling.


The document, entitled al-Battar (Sword) Camp, could not be independently authenticated but its tone and content resembled earlier such manuals on Islamic militant sites.


"The lands of the infidels should be turned into hell because they have turned the Muslims' countries into hell... Therefore cells active globally should not set themselves any geographical limits," it said.


It said U.S. and Israeli Jews, followed by French and British Jews were top human targets. Chief targets among Christians were Americans and Britons, followed by Spaniards, Australians, Canadians and Italians.


Professions singled out included businessmen, diplomats, scholars, scientists and military leaders as well as tourists.


It said Jewish and Christian investments in Islamic states, multinational corporations and international economic experts were top economic targets.


Entitled "Targets Inside Cities," the strategy paper was signed by Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, whom Western intelligence agencies consider the leading al Qaeda propagandist and financier in Saudi Arabia.


Islamic militants often denounce the U.S.-led "war on terror" as a campaign aimed against Islam.


FUEL FOR THE JIHAD


Muqrin, one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted militants, was reported last month to have taken over leadership of al Qaeda in the kingdom after the killing of the former top operative Khaled Ali Ali Haj in a police shootout.


"The whole European economy suffered from the blessed Madrid strikes, which doubled as a blow against the governments of the crusaders, the Jews and the godless," the document said.


"Strikes on oil wells and pipelines in Iraq (news - web sites) may lead to the withdrawal of foreign companies or at least destroy the security and stability needed by them to plunder the wealth of Muslims," the document said.


It said religious sites should not be targeted, except those of Christian missionaries in Muslim countries and those spying under the guise of religion and top religious figures acting against Islam.


A commentary in the document said Israel's assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin 10 days ago had become "fuel for the Jihad movement, feeding and nourishing it and inciting youth to this path."
