An Islamic militant leader warned that former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney could be the target of suicide bombers unless he cancels his first concert in Israel, reported the British Sunday Express.
The celebrated rock star plans to arrive in Israel as part of a world tour, and give a single concert at Tel Aviv`s Park Hayarkon on September 25. Omar Bakri, an Islamic preacher, said McCartney`s decision to perform as part of Israel`s 60th anniversary celebrations made him the enemy of Muslims worldwide. "If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel," Bakri was quoted as saying. "He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him." |
