Britain, Italy, Australia 'could be next terror target'

The Islamic militant group that claimed responsibility for last week’s Madrid train bombings has warned that its next targets could be Britain, Japan, Italy, or Australia, an Arabic newspaper reported in Cairo.

The paper Al-Quds al-Arabi said on its web site that it received a statement from “The Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri (al-Qaida)” in which the group reiterated its responsibility for the March 11 attacks.
