Al-Qaida: Bomb Bush

When President George W. Bush visits the Middle East Wednesday, Muslims must greet him with bombs.

This was the command issued via the Internet Monday by American-born spokesman of the Al-Qaida terrorist organization Adam Gadahn.

"Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula ... to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula in the beginning of January and to receive him not with flowers or clapping but with bombs and booby-trapped vehicles," Gadahn said.

Security is set to be extremely tight in Jerusalem where Bush - who because of his war on terror is one of the most hated men in the world - is to be based for the three-day Israel-leg of his tour.

Israel will deploy up to 10,000 police in the capital, while roads in the vicinity of the King David Hotel - where the American will be staying - will be closed to all moving and stationery vehicles. Special shields have been erected in the hotel drive to ensure Bush is out of sight of any would-be assassins, and snipers are to be stationed on all high points in the area.

Apart from a visit to Ramallah, north of Jerusalem, where PLO/PA leader Mahmoud Abbas has his offices amidst his US-loathing "Palestinians," Bush will reportedly conduct the lion's share of his business inside the King David.
