Matt T Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) I think we all know it will happen sooner or later, but it's still scary... AL-Qaeda is preparing an attack on a big financial centre in the Asia-Pacific, such as Tokyo, Singapore or Sydney, to undermine investor confidence in the region, France's top terrorist investigator has said.In an interview with the Financial Times newspaper, Jean-Louis Bruguiere added that several Asian countries were less prepared than Britain or the US for such an attack. "We have elements of information that make us think that countries in this region, especially Japan, could have been targeted" by the al-Qaeda network, the investigating magistrate said. "Any attack on a financial market like Japan would mechanically have an important economic impact on the confidence of investors. Other countries in this region, such as Singapore and Australia, are also potential targets." Despite the threat, he added, "we are somewhat neglecting the capacity or desire of the al-Qaeda organisation to destabilise" the region.

ozgeek Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yep, from 9/11, I knew that Australia is on their target list, as so many other countries. I'd wish that we would bring those ******s, killing people for stupid reasons to justice and be put to painful deaths. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
