Warning to Muslim soldiers serving U.S., UK

LONDON - Britain's internal security service, MI5, has issued a "red
alert" to all British and U.S. military commanders of armed forces in
the United Kingdom and Europe that their Muslim servicemen are now
"prime targets for Islamic terror cells."
The attacks are designed to force Muslims not to serve their country.
MI5, in its warning, says: "The very real possibility of an attack on
off-duty soldiers in London has substantially increased."
Off-duty soldiers, including U.S. Marines guarding the U.S. embassy in
Grosvenor Square, have been told to wear only "civies" when outside the
embassy.
The warning follows the arrest of nine Islamic terror suspects in
Birmingham who are accused of being part of a plot to kidnap and behead
Muslim soldiers serving in the British army. The murder would then be
shown on Islamic websites. MI5 estimates there are now more than 400
such radical sites.
