Last month, the militant group issued videotaped threats and claimed responsibility for a series of bus bombings in China in recent months. The latest video features graphics similar to ones used earlier: a burning Olympics logo and an explosion imposed over an apparent Olympic venue.
The new video claims the Communist regime's alleged mistreatment of Muslims justifies holy war. It accuses China of forcing Muslims into atheism by capturing and killing Islamic teachers and destroying Islamic schools, according to the SITE. It says China's birth control program has forced abortions on Muslim women.
``I think what they're doing is they're trying to capitalise on the build-up to the games,'' said Ben Venzke of Intel enter, which provides counterterrorism intelligence to US government agencies.
Venzke said on Friday that his group believes that based on the militant group's demonstrated ability to conduct bombings ``and the apparent opportunity TIP believes the Olympic Games presents in terms of targeting and striking a blow to China, that the threat is credible and should be taken seriously.''
