Al Qaeda

A message board closely related to al Qaeda encouraged jihadis to strike at the the embassy of the Roman Catholic Order of Malta in the Egyptian capital of Cairo. Photos of the embassy were also posted online. “Do not stint on your attacks, Egyptians, either with car or truck bombs. … These are photos of the Order of Malta embassy in Cairo. I ask Allah to have it closed down or blown up, along with those inside it, who hate Islam and Muslims.”
