Paradigm intel: says target is Musharraf

CAIRO, Egypt — Web sites usually used by Islamic militant groups announced a new, major Al Qaeda video would be released soon.

"Coming soon God willing? Wait for the big surprise," said an Internet banner Thursday next to a Web animation that shows photos Al Qaeda chief Usama bin Laden and some of his key deputies, along with pictures of U.S. President George W. Bush and Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.

The advertisement for the forthcoming video was signed by As-Sahab, the multimedia branch of Al Qaeda, and was expected to be an important release on a major recent attack, two U.S.-based terrorism monitoring groups said.

AQ and the Taliban have the most forces in Patki, Patki has killed and captured more AQ than any one else, partly because that is where most of them are.

Assassination of Musharraf could lead to an attempted coup, or civil war.

They have threatened him many times.

And he is a target of convience, they don't have to send troops any where they are already there.

If the attack doesn't kill Musharraf, he may change his mind on going after AQ along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
