Al Qaeda's Declared Targets: Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, Australia, and the U.S.
(IDF) - An article written by Abu Aiman Al-Hilali, a senior member of al Qaeda, marked the U.S., Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, and Australia as enemies of the organization. "The citizens of the democratic western countries take full part in the decisions taken by their governments. The residents of those countries are not classified as 'civilians' as they were classified during previous wars in history. They cannot be separated from the entire population during an attack (by al Qaeda)." According to Hilali, the aims of al Qaeda include: "Promoting the perception that targeting citizens in Western countries is legitimate."
