Al-Qaida has a master plan to take over
the world and turn it into an Islamic state - by the
year 2020.
Wishful thinking? Not in the minds of
the top terrorist lieutenants interviewed by Jordanian
journalist Fouad Hussein for a new book - including
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, mastermind of many atrocities
in Iraq.
The plan, which is revealed for the
first time in the Australian publication The Age, has
seven phases:
Phase 1: The "awakening"
in the consciousness of Muslims around the world following
the 9/11 attacks, which were aimed at provoking the
U.S. into declaring war on the Islamic world and mobilizing
Islamic radicals.
Phase 2: "Opening eyes,"
the current period, which should last until 2006. Hussein
said the terrorists hope to make the "Western conspiracy"
aware of the "Islamic community" as al-Qaida
continues to form its secret battalions.
Phase 3: "Arising and standing
up," which should last until 2010 and bring increasingly
frequent attacks against secular Turkey and archenemy
Israel.
Phase 4: Lasting until 2013,
this phase will see the fall of hated Arab regimes,
including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Oil suppliers will
be attacked and the U.S. economy will be targeted with
cyber terrorism.
Phase 5: An Islamic state, or
caliphate, can be declared between 2013 and 2016.
Phase 6: "Total confrontation,"
beginning in 2016, will see the Islamic army begin the
"fight between the believers and the non-believers"
that has been predicted by Osama bin Laden.
Phase 7: "Definitive victory."
Hussein writes that this phase should
be completed by 2020, and that the terrorists believe
the caliphate will prove victorious because the rest
of the world will be beaten down by an army of "one
and a half billion Muslims."
