London Al Qaida Threat Includes Clubs

London clubbers were urged to be on guard against Al Qaida bombers this week, as British politicians warned of an inevitable and imminent attack on England's capital city.

"We are not just talking about the Tube and the rail system, we are talking about buses, anything seen of suspicion in clubs," said Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens.

"We know from experience in Bali that Al Qaida attack clubs," he told the Standard.

Al Qaida boasted of targeting 'nightclubs and whorehouses in Indonesia' one week after they killed 202 revellers inside the Sari nightclub in Kuta Beach, yet ironically their leader Ossama Bin Laden was once a keen clubber.

"Osama bin Laden started the 1970s as did many other sons of the affluent and well-connected; breaking the strict Muslim lifestyle in Saudi Arabia with sojourns in cosmopolitan Beirut," said Yossef Bodansky, in his definitive biography of the multi-millionaire Saudi terror chief.

"While in high school and college, Osama visited Beirut often, frequenting flashy nightclubs, casinos, and bars. He was a drinker and womanizer, which often got him into bar brawls," he revealed.
