Fatwas Drive Attacks as Anti-American Sentiment Grows
Anti-American sentiment and religious edicts from al-Qaida leaders are fueling a wave of bombings from Madrid to Manila, with authorities noting that many attacks stem from local cells acting on their own initiative rather than direct orders from Osama bin Laden. Fatwas encouraging attacks against Americans are cited as a key motive, while experts warn the violence could swell ahead of Iraq handovers and major events.
