An Iranian terrorist group [The Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign] stated on Wednesday that it was recruiting Muslim British citizens to come to Israel to execute suicide bombing attacks against Israelis.
A spokesman for the group, Mohammad Samadi, told the London-based Guardian that Israel was the primary target of their attacks. “All the Jews are targets, whether military or civilian. It’s our land and they are in the wrong place. It’s their duty to pay attention to the safety of their own families and move them away from the battlefield,"
Or to respond in a more ...vigorous fashion.
He claimed that there were many disaffected Muslims throughout Europe that could volunteer for such a mission. "We understand the suspicion with which Britain, America and other western countries regard their Muslim populations,” he said, adding “We don’t condemn them for this because we believe every Muslim has the potential to turn into a bomb against the west."
This would not be the first time that British Muslims were recruited for a suicide bombing attack in Israel. In April 2003 two Britons were sent to blow themselves up at Mike’s Place restaurant in Tel Aviv. Three Israelis were killed in the attack and dozens of others were wounded. The two reportedly passed between the West Bank and Israel under the guise of peace activists.
Peace activists… Ironic, huh?
same article—Guardian “That shows that it has not been difficult getting into Israel,” he said. “Do you think getting hold of a British passport for an Iranian citizen is hard? Tens of passports are issued for Iranian asylum seekers in Britain every day. There are hundreds of other ways available to us, such as illegal entry [into Britain], fake passports, etc.”
“With the exception of Israel, we do not target civilians,” he said. “They would definitely not be sent to carry out an attack on London unless it was to kill Salman Rushdie"
