During the holy month of Ramadan, somewhere in between their fasting, praying, and other peaceful Islamic pursuits, Al Qaeda is promising a death blow against the United States. (Hat tip: AWH.)

OSAMA bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terror network is planning a “death blow” against Americans during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, a Saudi magazine reports in its issue due out today.

“Al-Qaeda is going to carry out a death blow against Americans during the month of Ramadan,” Al-Majallah said, quoting an e-mail sent by Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj, identified as a senior member of al-Qaeda.

Ablaj, who regularly communicates with the London-based weekly via e-mail, did not specify if the threatened strike will be carried out in the United States or against American interests abroad.

“Muslims have the right to draw the blood of Americans, civilian or military, everywhere in the world,” Ablaj said.
