Bulgaria may be a potential target of Al Qaeda terrorist attacks, even though it is not in the "front row" of the countries most in danger, according to Bulgarian Middle East expert, Vladimir Chukov.

"There are Al Qaeda sleeping cells everywhere. It is very difficult to foresee where they will be mobilized," Chukov said before the bTV private channel. The expert pointed out that most of the victims of terrorist acts are Muslims and not Christians.

Osama bin Laden's death was described as just and said it was "a psychological closure for the bloodiest page in the modern US history". He stated, however, that Al Qaeda's activity is far from over.

The terrorist organization will most likely strike in Yemen first, as it is there it has its strongest positions, according to the expert.
