Al-Qaeda leaders at odds on attacking western interests in UAE

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Jan 28, IRNA – An informed source said Wednesday that certain senior Al-Qaeda terrorist group leaders are seriously and constantly at odds on conducting armed and sabotage operations against western and US interests in the UAE.

The source said the military rulers and think-tanks of the network are willing to attack western targets and companies in the UAE because the attack is something easy for them regarding the large number of companies located there.

But those Al-Qaeda officials, who are in charge of supplying money to the network, however, believe that the UAE should not be attacked because any damage on the sheikhdom will trigger economic recession.

They say since Al-Qaeda too has concentrated many of its investments on tourism, hotel keeping and so on in the UAE to meet its financial needs, it will indirectly be affected by the attacks.

Sometimes ago, there were reports on increase in investment and registration of the Zionist companies in the UAE too, especially in Dubai, so making certain circles, including the Al-Qaeda network, sensitive.

It’s worth mentioning that Al-Qaeda has not yet conducted any terrorist operation in the UAE.
