Mad Story: Al-Qaeda attack Spurs as being unscrupulous merchants & greedy Jews in Bale saga

This is insane.

A variety of Italian news sources have published a story on Monday that Al-Qaeda have unbelievably waded into the Gareth Bale will he/won’t he move from Tottenham to Real Madrid saga by issuing antisemtic slurs against Spurs online.

The principle report appears to have come from Il Solec24 Ore, who have promoted the story on the front page of their website (see left).

According to the hard-to-believe tale, Ahmed Al Dossari, the reported leader of a Yemenite Al-Qaeda cell based in the country’s capital city Sana’a, has waded into the Bale transfer saga on a not-named website. Al Dossari is said to have denounced Spurs for demanding 100 million euros for Bale, spewing:

Unscrupulous merchants. The Jews will be punished for their greed by the wrath of God and by the sound of arms.

Tottenham are often labelled the Jewish club in the Premier League, as the club has deep-rooted ties with the Jewish community in north London.

Whilst this story has more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese, it is worth noting that Twitter trolls have attacked Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for being “Jewish” over the past few days.

To prove we didn’t make this story up, below is an Italian radio report from Il Solec24 Ore on the story. We’re sure you’ll be able to make out the words Gareth Bale and Al-Qaeda for yourselves.
