Muslim Radicals Plan Tribute to 9/11 Attacks
The extremist Islamic movement Al-Muhajiroun has announced a planned tribute to the 9/11 attacks and the 19 hijackers who carried them out during its London convention later this month, reports the British Arab daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.
The tribute titled "The Choice Is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels" is billed as a celebration of the third anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, according to the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute, which translates Arab news reports.
The group had planned a similar anniversary event a year ago called "The Magnificent 19," in honor of the 19 hijackers, but it had to be canceled at the last minute.
"A large hall has already been secured for the convention," an official with the group told the Arab paper. "But the announcement came only two days ago for fear that the British police would try to cancel it, as happened with the previous convention."
"We want the world to remember this operation ... that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation," a Syrian source familiar with the event told the Arab paper, saying he hoped the confab would "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."
