Terrorists issue new Olympic threat: US analysts

Beijing: A little-known Islamic group has issued a new terrorist threat against the Beijing Olympics, US intelligence analysts said on Friday.

The Turkestan Islamic Party issued the threat on Wednesday in a video posted on the internet, urging Muslims "not to attend the games or be within the vicinity," the SITE Intelligence Group reported on its website.

In the six-minute video Call to the Global Muslim Ummah, the speaker urges Muslims to beware. "Do not stay on the same bus, on the same train, on the same plane, in the same buildings or any place the Chinese are," SITE quoted the speaker as saying.

A similar video from the group showed the Beijing Olympics logo in flames. ....
