MUSLIM fanatics last night bombed a packed Planet Hollywood restaurant, killing one person and injuring 25 in revenge for American air strikes.An organisation calling itself Muslims Against Global Oppression claimed responsibility for the outrage in a tourist area of Cape Town, South Africa.They said it was a response to Bill Clinton's bombings of terrorist targets in Sudan and Afghanistan.But the US condemned the attack as "outrageous and despicable".Movie star Sylvester Stallone, co-owner of the restaurant chain, said: "I'm stunned. It's appalling that anyone could bomb innocent people."Within hours of the blast London's Planet Hollywood was evacuated after a bomb threat. It turned out to be a hoax. Police believe the Cape Townexplosive was a pipe bomb. One officer said a man was seen throwing a device into the restaurant before running off.The restaurant was packed with tourists. A woman died immediately.Roger Sedres, 29, said: "I heard this explosion. At first I thought it was a car backfiring. I stopped the car and jumped out."I saw people being carried out of the restaurant. The first was a woman with her legs all mangled."She just lay on the ground motionless and screamed, 'Oh my God, are my legs still there?'"Another woman was screaming and holding her head."Diner Joe Kokram said: "I heard this bang. When I turned round I saw all these people lying on the floor with limbs missing. It was chaos."Stallone, who owns Planet Hollywood with fellow stars Bruce Willis and Arnie Schwarzenegger, said: "I feel for the family of the person who has died and the people who have been injured."My thoughts and prayers are with them."Police believe the restaurant was targeted because of its star backers and because it is seen as a symbol of America.RetaliationIt would also be chosen because it is the top tourist destination in South Africa.Last night the chain's top brass were holding an emergency meeting. A spokesman in Los Angeles said: "I've been told not to disturb them."A US government spokeswoman said they were working closely with the South African authorities to investigate the blast.A Cape Town radio station took the call to say the Muslim extremist group was responsible.Journalist Marianne Merten, who spoke to the terrorist caller, said: "He spoke with a strong Arab accent and introduced himself as Jihad Oulhad, which roughly translates as the Holy War for the Truth."He simply said, 'It's Jihad Oulhad from Muslims Against Global Oppression and we are claiming responsibility'."He added, 'Yes, the attack is in retaliation against the US attacks in Sudan and Afghanistan'."The group supports Islamic extremist Osama bin Laden.He declared holy war on the West last week after the US attacked suspected terrorist strongholds in Sudan and Afghanistan in retaliation for bombings that killed more than 250 people in Kenya and Tanzania.PALESTINIAN terrorist leader Abu Nidal, allegedly responsible for 900 deaths in 20 countries, was reported under arrest in Egypt last night after leaving his Libyan hideout.
