On August 3, 2010, a previously unknown militant group calling itself the "Abu Dujanah al-Khorasani Brigade" (in honor of Camp Chapman suicide bomber Humam al-Bilawi) claimed responsibility for sending "chemical letters" to the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France. The same party responsible for the "Abu Dujanah al-Khorasani Brigade" claim has posted a second message urging supporters, "if you want to carry out jihad, all you have to do is leave the addresses of the embassies in your country, and if possible, with pictures and other information -- or put the names of tourist hotspots and their locations, along with the locations of crusader tourists. As far as information goes, the mujahideen need such information regarding water straits and ships now and urgently."

The January 2006 republication of cartoons from Denmark lampooning the Prophet Mohammed has caused a growing wave of bitter anger and violence to spread throughout the Muslim world--and likewise among well-organized groups of extremists living in Western nations. On February 3, a U.K.-based militant faction formerly known as "Al-Muhajiroun" ("The Emigrants") helped organize a raucous demonstration outside the Danish, Norwegian, and French embassies in central London. Video excerpts from the demonstration are now available for download c/o the NEFA Foundation website.

In a new communiqué verified as authentic by the same online authority responsible for distributing credible material from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a group calling itself "Al-Qaida's Committee in Northern Europe" has issued a threat to carry out additional suicide bombing attacks similar those that took place on July 7 in downtown London. According to an electronic statement issued on September 11, members of the purported Al-Qaida unit announced their intention to "sacrifice our souls and dead bodies for this religion, in order to raise the flag of the mujahideen, and to preserve the souls of the Muslims in the same way that our brothers in Britain have done previously." No specific European nation or target was mentioned in the communiqué.

An Algerian terrorist commander once thought to head a transnational sleeper cell network that included would-be Al-Qaida Millenium bomber Ahmed Ressam has resurfaced in Bosnia-Herzegovina, vehemently denying allegations recently presented to the Bosnian Supreme Court in Sarajevo that his foreign mujahideen unit committed war crimes during the Bosnian civil conflict of the 1990s. Algerian militant commander Abu el-Maali--the former chief of the foreign mujahideen unit in Bosnia--granted an exclusive interview to a mujahideen-affiliated magazine in Bosnia in order to respond to charges leveled during the recent trial of Iraqi-born Abduladhim Maktouf--convicted in early July of aiding in the 1993 kidnapping of three Croat civilians subsequently held prisoner in a mujahideen-run torture camp.
