The NEFA Foundation has obtained a copy of a communiqué issued by senior Al-Qaida commander Mustafa Abu al-Yazid claiming responsibility for the June 2 suicide bombing attack on the Danish embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan.
According to al-Yazid, “one of the courageous heroes from Al-Qaida executed a martyrdom operation… targeting the Danish Embassy in Islamabad… We will soon publish more information… as well as [identify] the martyred brother who was responsible for carrying out the operation.” Al-Yazid further indicated that the bombing was carried out “in retaliation for what the infidels from the so-called state of Denmark have published: the insulting cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him—which they refused to apologize for publishing, even though they had many opportunities…
This should serve as a warning to the infidel countries regarding their crimes against our Prophet Mohammed… They must apologize immediately, or else this will only be the first step in our struggle.”
