Mecca, Madina should be attacked if US is attacked: US presidential candidate

WASHINGTON: The US presidential candidate Tom Tancredo said that in his
opinion the sacred Muslim cities of Mecca and Madina should be attacked
if America is attacked.

The
presidential candidate belonging to the Republican Party said in a
restaurant that the US should consider attack on the sacred Muslim
cities of Mecca and Madina to save America from nuclear attacks.

He
said that in case of nuclear attacks they would decide how to target
Mecca and Madina. He said this is the only way to save the US from
attacks and through which it can be secured.

It may be mentioned
that this is not for the first time that any statement regarding
attacks on the sacred cities of the Muslims has been issued from Tom
Tancredo. Earlier in 2005 also, he said about attacks on Mecca and
Madina.
