Ah, so should we expect to see an 'addendum' broadcast from Al Qaida? It
would be interesting to see if they do, as it would imply that they do
indeed differentiate between targets who acted directly against them (or
Arabs) and targets that (at least superficially) had not. I am willing to
bet we will not see any retraction of that particular declaration of war,
since Norway, still being a country that is not Islam, is eventually to be
targeted.
