Nuclear Engineer at Swiss Lab Arrested for Al-Qaeda Links
[Times-UK] Adam Sage - Fears that al-Qaeda is planning an attack on the nuclear industry in Europe were renewed after French secret agents arrested a physicist working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. The physicist, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, is suspected of providing a list of terrorist targets to members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, an Algerian-based terror organization that joined bin Laden's network in 2007. "He had expressed a wish or a desire to commit terrorist actions," an intelligence source said.
