Islamist Web Site Warns U.A.E. to Eject
Non-Muslims (Update1)

July 24 (Bloomberg) -- An Islamist Web site
warned the United Arab Emirates, the Middle
East's fourth-largest oil producer, to expel
non Muslims and Westerners, including the U.S.
ambassador and other U.S. citizens, within 10
days or risk attack.


There are about 20,000 U.S. citizens resident
in the U.A.E., according to the U.S. embassy in
Dubai. The U.K., which is recovering from bomb
attacks in London on July 7 that killed 56
people, has 100,000 of its citizens there.


``If you refuse to do this, we ask God to
settle the matter or we will settle it with our
own hands,'' said the statement posted July 19
by an unidentified individual on al-Sakifah Web
site, which carries statements attributed to
al-Qaeda in Iraq.


Security concerns are rising among governments
in the Middle East allied to the U.S. following
the attacks in London and the blasts early
yesterday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm
el-Sheikh, Egypt, which killed more than 85
people and wounded 200. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
and Qatar boosted security of oil sites this
year.


``All threats are taken seriously,'' said U.S.
Embassy spokeswoman Hilary Olsin-Windecker in a
telephone interview today from Abu Dhabi, the
U.A.E.'s capital.


The statement criticized the U.A.E. for letting
U.S. naval vessels dock at Jebel Ali port on
the Persian Gulf and permitting shore leave in
Dubai for crew of aircraft carriers, U.S.S.
Kitty Hawk, U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and U.S.S.
Harry S. Truman.


The Web statement called for the removal of the
U.S. ambassador to the Emirates. The U.S. has
no permanent military bases in the country,
said the U.S. embassy spokeswoman.
