GIMF Jihadis Targetted Soccer Games, UN

More on the possible targets discussed by three Austrian and one Canadian member of the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF). At least eight more members of GIMF are being sought. National Post:

A suspected bombing cell whose members were arrested in Canada and Austria last week had allegedly discussed attacking United Nations facilities and next year's European soccer championships.

A suicide bombing at the Euro 2008 tournament in Austria and Switzerland, and attacks on large crowds and political figures, were among the scenarios allegedly considered by the suspected cell members.

Some of the eight shouldn't be hard to find. They have a few websites I'm sure they're on as we speak. After we posted the new location of GIMF's main Arabic website, they got shut down. But they're up again.

You'll notice that latest posting is from yesterday and features a video from al Qaeda in Iraq.
