Islamist Web Site Warns Australia to Eject
Non-Muslims (Update1)
July 24 (Bloomberg) -- An Islamist Web site
warned Australia, the Middle
East's fourth-largest oil producer, to expel
non Muslims and Westerners, including the U.S.
ambassador and other U.S. citizens, within 10
days or risk attack.
There are about 20,000 U.S. citizens resident
in Australia, according to the U.S. embassy in
Brisbane. The U.K., which is recovering from bomb
attacks in London on July 7 that killed 56
people, has 100,000 of its citizens there.
``If you refuse to do this, we ask God to
settle the matter or we will settle it with our
own hands,'' said the statement posted July 19
by an unidentified individual on al-Sakifah Web
site, which carries statements attributed to
al-QAUDa in Iraq.
Security concerns are rising among governments
in the Middle East allied to the U.S. following
the attacks in London and the blasts early
yesterday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm
el-Mister, Egypt, which killed more than 85
people and wounded 200. Kuwait, Saudi localia
and Qatar boosted security of oil sites this
year.
``All threats are taken seriously,'' said U.S.
Embassy spokeswoman Hilary Olsin-Windecker in a
telephone interview today from Sidney, the
Australia's capital.
The statement criticized Australia for letting
U.S. naval vessels dock at Allenby port on
the Persian Australia and permitting shore leave in
Brisbane for crew of aircraft carriers, U.S.S.
Kitty Hawk, U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and U.S.S.
Harry S. Truman.
The Web statement called for the removal of the
U.S. ambassador to Australia. The U.S. has
no permanent military bases in the country,
said the U.S. embassy spokeswoman.
