"Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a recent series of forest fires across Europe, as the head of Russia's Federal Security Service claimed they were set by arsonists as part of the group's low-cost attack strategy."
"One should note that setting fires to forests in the countries of the European Union is a new tendency in al-Qaeda's strategy of a 'thousand cuts'," Alexander Bortnikov said, according to state news agency RIA Novosti, at a meeting of heads of security agencies.
"This method allows (al-Qaeda) to inflict significant economic and moral damage without serious preliminary preparations, technical equipment or significant expenses."
In linking al-Qaeda to the deadly wildfires, Mr Bortnikov pointed to calls to launch a "forest jihad" by various extremist websites which he said also publish detailed instructions about how and where to best carry out arson.
He said it was very difficult for special services to find and prosecute such
arsonists.
Deadly fires have swept through forest land in EU countries such as Portugal and Spain over the past few months, killing scores of people and forcing thousands to evacuate.
In its continuing campaign against the West, al-Qaeda has vowed to "bleed the enemy to death" by resorting to inexpensive, low-scale attacks it refers to as a "strategy of a thousand cuts".

Al
Qaeda also recommends starting US fires but media ignores this and joins with all powerful government and Al Qaeda against the
people. Media says "global
warming" starts the fires which keeps the spotlight off terrorists so
they can continue killing the US "by a thousand cuts:"

""Inspire" magazine...continues to promote jihadi attacks on Western targets, offering detailed advice on how to start huge forest fires in America with timed explosives."...

"Ever since Sept. 11, 2001 , much of the world's focus has been on the issue of terrorism. The tragic deaths of thousands of Americans in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., coupled with hundreds of deaths in Spain and Bali at the hands of terrorists, has led to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the expenditure of billions of dollars (that's billions with a capital “B”) to improve security and reduce the risks from terrorists and their weapons of mass destruction.
The massive increases in the federal budget for protection from terrorism mostly have been sent to police and structural fire departments. But what about the threat of terrorist-caused wildland fires in our forests, community watersheds and wildland-urban interface? Who's worried about that threat, what are they doing about it, and how much is being spent to fund the efforts to prevent it?

The history of fire as a tool of warfare is well-documented: Native
Americans used fire against their enemies, both other tribes and the
expanding Europeans; the Aboriginal people of Australia used fire to
discourage the incursion of the British settlers onto their island. In
World War II, the Japanese launched “fire balloons” against the western
United States. While largely unsuccessful, they started a few fires and
killed six people in surely at risk under the wrong combination of weather conditions and a
committed terrorist with fire on the brain."...
