Armed police deploy in Prague after attack warning

Czech police deployed armed guards in Prague's historic centre on Saturday after security services issued its most serious warning of a terrorist attack.

Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said the government of the central European nation had met late on Friday and early on Saturday to adopt extra security measures.

Police deployed guards around dozens of buildings in the historic capital of 1.2 million, which is a magnet for foreign tourists. Armed police also patrolled central Prague.

"The government received information from representatives of the security services and police of an increased risk of a terrorist act on the territory of the capital, Prague, related to increased security risks of similar character abroad," Topolanek said in a written statement.

"The government ... decided to strengthen security measures on the territory of the capital, Prague, with the aim of eliminating the existing risks," he added.

Interior Minister Ivan Langer said the threat was the most serious for the country of 10 million.

"This is the first time that the Czech Republic is facing, in such a concrete way, such a concrete heightened risk of a terrorist act," Langer told a news conference.

He said information on the possible attack was obtained through cooperation between Czech and foreign security services.

Langer said the government did not have any further information about the threat.

The Czech Republic has a small military unit in Afghanistan and military police instructors in Iraq. It has not been a target of terrorist attacks in past years.

(Iraq) Al-Qaeda Chief Kills Turkish Hostage On Film
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 9-24-2006 | Paul Willis

(Filed: 24/09/2006)

A video purporting to show the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq murdering a Turkish hostage has appeared on the internet.

If authentic, the recording would be the first known footage of Abu Ayyoub al-Masri, a Sunni Muslim who is said to have assumed leadership of the organisation after the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in an American airstrike in June.

The items were posted on Friday night with a statement identifying Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, as the executioner.

Masri appears flanked by two men carrying machine guns, their faces obscured by scarves.

He makes a speech denouncing Muslims who "collaborate" with the American military and then the hostage, reading from a statement in Turkish translated into Arabic by subtitles, identifies himself as Murad Buger, an employee of a Turkish company subcontracting for a Jordanian organisation that provides services to US military bases.

Mr Buger is then shot in the head three times.

The video is similar to the taped killings by al-Zarqawi's followers of the British hostage Ken Bigley and the American Nick Berg. Terrorism experts had predicted that al-Zarqawi's successor would do a grisly "spectacular" to announce his presence to the world.
