The West at War: The Traitor: Women trained to kill

OSAMA bin Laden has ordered a squad of women terrorists to carry out attacks in countries supporting the coalition.

Russian intelligence revealed yesterday the names of three women on an international wanted list.

One, Fatima al Murabi, is said to be the wife of a senior official in bin Laden's al-Qaeda network.

The others, Nada Abi Yaji and Mona Tradboulsi, are both Lebanese.

Two of the women are thought to be travelling in Europe on false German passports. The third has bogus papers from Ukraine or another ex-Soviet state.

An alert was sounded in Russia because of intelligence that they were planning an attack on Moscow's largest Orthodox church or another major Christian target.

Photographs of Yaji and Tradboulsi were provided to police by the security services. However, the former KGB security service - now called the FSB - admitted yesterday that it did not know the whereabouts of the women.

Checks are being stepped up at airports, and extra security has been put in place at churches and other targets.
