Berlin - In the case of the suicide bomber had detonated in mid-December in the middle of Stockholm's inner city his explosive device, there is a new track. As the Arabic TV station al-Arabiya on his web page says, it leads in Iraq: Major General Diya Kinani, head of the Iraqi counter-terrorism, have the station said that Taimour Abdulwahab for a period of three months as part of an explosives factory in the Iraqi city of Mosul went through before he struck in Sweden.come to the land he was on the Turkish border. At the same time it was probably an Egyptian trained, the station reported on. This is apparently not yet been found. It is conceivable that he was preparing to attack its own, so the station. Taimour Abdulwahab, a native of Baghdad with a Swedish passport, which had spent the last years as a family man in England, died at his fence as a single.
Swedish authorities suspect that the attack does not expire as planned. A trained physiotherapist had a total of half a dozen bombs in a backpack is. Only one exploded - perhaps sooner than he had planned. The Swedish authorities believe at any rate, that Stockholm on 12 December of a possible disaster escaped.
Abdulwahab suspect they wanted to strike at a station or department store. Had warned the U.S.? Al-Arabiya quoted Kinani also by saying that Iraqi authorities had informed two months before the Stockholm-stop already, the U.S. authorities about plans of the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida to strike at the end in the U.S.
or Western Europe. Sweden also had been explicitly approved by the terrorists as a target, gives the power back to the Major General. Immediately after the attack, Iraqi officials had claimed they had warned U.S. authorities and Interpol. These goals could not confirm beyond doubt. Kinani says the message of the sender, according not explicitly, that Abdulwahab was acting on behalf of al-Qaeda, the relationship this suggests, however.
The head of counterterrorism, according to the information came about the planned attacks in the West from interrogations of detained al-Qaida men. On his Web page published al-Arabiya only a preliminary report. Further details of the sender promised for Friday evening, when the new edition of "The Death Factory" will be broadcast that deals with issues of terrorism.
Swedish investigators had suspected soon after the attack, a track in Iraq. According to information from World Daily Buzz, the authorities in Sweden and England now established findings about the fact that Abdulwahab in recent months repeatedly traveled under clandestine conditions in the Middle East.
Abdulwahab himself had immediately sent before his act an audio message of a news agency and the Swedish intelligence service, in which he apologized, among other things with his family that he had lied to them: the militant Jihad, not business interests, are the reason for his travels been.
In the tape Abdulwahab also had a cryptic allusion to al-Qaeda's Iraq branch made. Without explicitly identify themselves as a cadre or on behalf of agent who he had praised the "Islamic State", the men are "a reality" and "no imagination". In Iraq, the local branch of al-Qaida appears under the name "Islamic State of Iraq" on.
But even if the new information from al-Arabiya make a connection to al-Qaida likely to confirm that it is not enough. Moreover, the terror network has not yet been announced for the attack. New strategy of Iraq's Qaeda branch? If the connection is confirmed, however, it would be a proof that the Iraqi al-Qaeda, like the branch on the Arabian peninsula, their strategy for planned attacks abroad has expanded.
The branch on the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen is located in the center of gravity, had tried to Christmas 2009, bringing a U.S. jet landing at Detroit crash. Last fall, she sent parcel bombs to freight services, hoping to bring cargo jets in the explosion. The Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda, founded in 2003 by the Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been struck only once outside of Iraq: In 2005, she sent three suicide bombers into the neighboring country Jordan.
However, it is considered possible that al-Qaida in Iraq, stuck behind the attack never fully enlightened attempt on Glasgow airport in the summer of 2007. While the expansion of the strategy is happening abroad by al-Qaida in Yemen, a sign of their growing capabilities, that in the case of the Iraqi al-Qaida but also the opposite of reason.
Because the terrorist network is considered extremely weak, since Iraqi and U.S. soldiers managed to kill their two leaders and the arrest of numerous cadres. A stop in the West, this could be the calculus, however, often brings new recruits and new money.
