Sheikh Omar Bakhri Mohammed said his Al-Muhajiroun organisation had issued a fatwa, or religious edict, threatening Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, whose backing for the United States has angered Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement. Bakhri said: "The fatwa is calling on Muslims to stand together and support Muslims in Afghanistan and to reject the authority of Musharraf." Asked in a BBC radio interview if this amounted to a death threat, he said: "The fatwa itself, yes, declares General Musharraf apostate and therefore Muslims in the army should not support him. They should punish him for his crimes." Washington suspects Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, who is based in Afghanistan, of being behind last week's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and wants the Taliban to hand him over. British Foreign Office minister Peter Hain said authorities would study Bakhri's comments to see whether they contravened Britain's recently strengthened laws against terrorism. "Anybody organising finance, raising money or in any way supporting terrorist activity, whether of the horrific kind we saw in New York last week or anything that might similarly happen in the future, will be caught by this legislation," Hain said. He added: "The chilling edict against General Musharraf is something that will have to be looked at very carefully." Earlier, police said an assault on a 19-year-old Muslim woman appeared to be a response to the U.S. attacks in which 5,000 people are dead or missing. The woman was walking alone in Swindon, a town 120 km (75 miles) west of London, on Friday night when she was approached by two white men, one of whom attacked her with a baseball bat. "It appears that it is a race attack after the events of last week and that's how it was viewed by the victim," a police spokeswoman said. Muslim leaders were to meet police to discuss the safety of their community amid reports of such attacks, including an assault that paralysed an Afghan taxi driver in London. Schools and mosques have been targets with threats against pupils and graffiti attacks, Muslim leaders told Reuters. Police were investigating a suspicious fire outside a mosque in Bolton in northern England on Monday night. 11:27 09-18-01 ------------------------ Yahoo!
