Al Qaeda issues a Fatwa against Trance...
(Amsterdam, NL) - According to Lebanese news website Yalibnan.com, terrorist organization Fatah AL-Islam, which is said to be part of the Al Qaeda network has threatened DJ Tiësto, as he is set to perform in Beirut on July 2nd. Reason for the threat is the recent Lebanese government's action against Fatah AL-Islam, which is known as an extremist, violent terrorist group.
Lebanon has recently been the target of renewed terrorist activity. Last Sunday, members of the Fatah group attacked the city of Tripoli, a refugee camp, a shopping center and an upscale neighborhood, rendering them a serious threat to the DJ's and the clubbers safety.Tiësto is extremely popular in the Middle East, with many of his performances being sellout successes. He is also an icon of the west, as his co operations with Disneyland, but also the peaceful Olympic Games reveal. As his presence is very important to the tourism sector of the country, which is being sabotaged by the terrorist group, he is a crucial target, as an attack would scare many foreign tourists away. He is not the only one under threat, as Shakira had planned to come over, but mysteriously disappeared.
According to the news source:"Rumors have emerged that Fatah al-Islam has directly threatened to kill DJ Tiësto if dares to show up for his planned
July 2 concert in Beirut. The Dutch DJ has been voted as the world's best for the past several years. On October 1, 2005, Tiësto broke records when he made his long awaited debut in Beirut. Over 16,000 showed up to party with their beloved Tiësto at Forum de Beirut, in what was been coined the largest event ever in the Middle East."
