Al-Qaeda Commander Confirms Group’s Responsibility For Embassy Bombing
In a story hitting international wires yesterday afternoon, Al-Qaeda commander Mustafa Abul Yazid told a Pakistani television program that the group was responsible for the June 2 bombing of the Danish embassy in Islamabad and that this was indeed because of the publication of caricatures of Muhammed in Danish newspapers. The group had already claimed responsibility, but not with a senior official commenting in the course of a television appearance. Six people were killed.
