Al Qaeda in Egypt Leader Calls for Attacks On Women and Children

The Egyptian militant who leads the group he calls "Al Qaeda in Egypt"
has called for his followers to launch attacks in Egypt to "strike
against all Zionist-Crusader targets" there, including women and
children.
The statement of Mohammed Khalil al Hakayma, who is wanted by the United States, is dated yesterday and has been posted on numerous jihadi Web sites.
"Rise up and pluck out the Zionist presence in Egypt," he says. "Rise up and inflame a war on them everywhere. Do not differentiate between a military and a civilian person. As they struck against our women and children, we will kill their women and children."
Last year, Hakayma claimed the Egyptian Islamist group al Gamaa al Islamiya had joined al Qaeda.
The group, which has publicly renounced violence as part of a deal with the Egyptian government, however, issued a strong denial.
Al Hakayma later appeared in a jihadi video criticizing the group and called on its members to join al Qaeda as he says he has.
It is unclear just how much support or how many real followers Hakayma has in Egypt, as Hakayma himself is not believed to be there.
Do you have a tip for Brian Ross and the Investigative Team?

How cruel these commentators are when they write like "Al Qeada's idea of courage is to go after women and children instead of people their own size. And yet, these pieces of filth don't understand why Americans call them cowards!"
ALQAIDA was and is brain child of America? War on Terrors is based on 911 inside launch pad for bllod thurst for OIL.
I have problem understanding how ignorant or cruel these blogers are?

In war, all sides feel they are right and that their actions are justified. Isreal is the cause of all of this, they are illegally occupying terriroty have forced millions into refugee camps and are killing innocent people. They punish (oh, I mean terrorize) by bulldozing homes. The US supports Israel with money and weapons. Why is it when countries like the US, Israel, Brittan, support each other and we are allies. When Muslims support each other they are terrorists? Is it really any different? If the US wasn't so greedy, didn't support countries like Israel and minded our own business we wouldn't be in situation we are in. These people do not have orginized armies, the guerilla type war they engage in is how they do things. They sacrifice their lives and blow themselves up in the middle of the day, we fly in at 3 a.m. while people are sleeping and bomb civilians. We lie and use illegal weapons like Napalm in Iraq. We commit war crimes, and then when the enemy retaliates we act surprised. I do not support terrorism of ANY kind - I am just able to look at things for what they are. NOBODY is innocent and if the US wasn't supporting Isreal's illegal occupation and genocide, chances are we wouldn't be a target!!! Look at things from a humanitarian perspective and take the politics and propaganda out of it. If people start doing this, perhaps we can begin to make changes.

It wouldn't be very wise to carpet bomb Iraq and killing millions of muslims. For one thing, Osama bin Ladin isn't even in iraq, so would good would that do?
And more importantly, we would finally achieve for the extremist muslims their goal for them! We would cause the rest of the muslim nations around the world to unite against us. pakistan has nuclear technology. they should share this with Iran and any other country that wanted it..and the entire world would be engulfed in a nuclear holocaust. Only a crazy person would advocate carpet bombing another country without regard to civilian casualties.

Take action.
Stop being victims and do something about it rather than ranting on some website.
