Muslim Leader Warns U.S.

The leader of a fundamentalist Muslim militia in northern Lebanon said the United States will be attacked on its own territory in the next few days. Sheik Said Shaban, head of Tawhid (the Islamic Unification Movement), a Sunni militia based in Tripoli that is allied with Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, told a rally: “America will, in the next few days, witness operations against it in its own country to avenge the people of south Lebanon and Palestine. The Islamic tide . . . has begun to knock at the White House door, which reinforces itself with concrete obstacles for fear of Islamic attacks.”
