Al Qaeda has called on “all Muslims in the world” to kill Britain’s Prince Harry. The German authorities report this. According to a report, several Islamist organizations worldwide are calling for attacks in support of the terrorist organization Hamas and the people of the Gaza Strip.
The German intelligence report indicates that several Islamist organizations are calling for jihad against “Western crusaders and Zionists” in response to the war in the Gaza Strip. German authorities are said to be particularly concerned about repeated calls for so-called lone actor attacks on Jews and Christians in Western countries.
‘Bloody attacks and revolutions’
Last week, for example , As-Sahab Media , the official media arm of the Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan and Afghanistan, reportedly issued a call to the world’s Muslim population – to “carry out bloody attacks and revolutions to protect the Palestinians and to support Hamas” – which names Britain’s Prince Harry and the United States as priority targets. According to German justice, Al Qaeda views such attacks as “a symbolic act of revenge and punishment for all supporters of Israel.”
Harry is a target because he served twice as a helicopter pilot in the British Army in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2013. In his autobiography Spare , the prince revealed earlier this year that he said he had killed 25 Taliban fighters during that period. However, according to the Taliban, these were not fighters, but innocent civilians. “You didn’t kill pawns, you killed people. Families were waiting for their return,” it said at the time. “Harry’s execution is therefore a legitimate target,” Al Qaeda writes.
