BAGHDAD — A senior Al-Qaeda militant had been planning an attack against the football World Cup which kicks off in South Africa next month, an Iraqi security spokesman said on Monday.

The 30-year-old Saudi national, who was arrested two weeks ago, had been in contact with Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri as part of his planning for the attack, though no further details were made available.

Abdullah Azzam Saleh Misfar al-Qahtani "participated in the planning of a terrorist act in South Africa during the World Cup," Baghdad security spokesman Major General Qassim Atta said at a news conference in the Iraqi capital.

He added that Qahtani, who was in charge of "security" for the terror network in Baghdad, was in contact "with the terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri to organise the plan hatched by Al-Qaeda."

4. Too bad the US invaded Iraq, isn't it?

They made Iraq into an area where terrorists could flourish. If only the US would break the stronghold of the Israel lobby, so it could develop its own, independent foreign policy, all of this terrorism would go away.
