The North African branch of Al Qaeda threatened new attacks against "enemies of God" in North Africa in a statement posted on the Internet on 23 July, according to the International Herald Tribune."The Holy warriors, thanks be to God, have managed to reorganize their ranks and set forth their plans, and they are preparing a lot of surprises," said the statement posted on a militant Web site usually used by Al Qaeda.
These "surprises" will escalate "until the enemies of God's religion realize that they have no choice but to repent to God and halt the war against Islam and Muslims" in North Africa, the statement said. The message's authenticity could not be independently verified.
The North African branch of Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a July 11 suicide bombing that killed at least 10 Algerian soldiers and wounded 35. Algeria suffered another suicide bombing two months ago, and Morocco was hit by suicide attacks in April.
