Suspected terror mastermind Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network claimed responsibility for the blast near a synagogue which killed 15 including ten German tourists last week in Tunisia, the Al-Qods Al-Arabi newspaper said.
The London-based Arab daily, which did not say how it obtained the claim, said "the Al-Qaeda netowrk of Sheikh Osama bin Laden claims the operation against the Djerba synagogue."
"This suicide operation is a response to the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip," said a document, which the newspaper claimed was a genuine Al-Qaeda statement.
The statement said Tunisian Nizar bin Mohammed Nawar, aka Saif al-Din al-Tunsi carried out the operation, masterminded by the "the command of the Islamic army for the liberation of holy places."
"This suicide operation is also a reprisal for (Arab) governments' refusal to allow their peoples to launch jihad (holy war) against the Jews," said the text carried by the newspaper.
The daily also published the testament of the alleged kamizake, calling on members of his family do die as "martyrs".
Authorities in Tunisia maintain that the blast was an accident caused when a truck carrying natural gas went out of control and crashed into the wall surrounding the Griba synagogue on the island of Djerba, bursting into flames as a group of German tourists visited the site.
I got it off Drudge.
They now are claiming credit for a natural gas explosion.
This will be the next natural gas explosion, that they will be taking credit for: (Al-Queerdos latest victory with natural gas explosions)
They also caused the Tampa Bay Buccanneers to lose a chance at the SuperBowl, thereby causing us to lose Coach Dungy, end up with the "Chuckie" doll for a coach (although he is good) and .....Oh. Nevermind. ;-)
That's right. Everyone knows that Muslims never lie--NOT. Hah! The Koran actually exhorts its followers to deceive the infidels. Those Muslim officials were only following orders from allah's agent, Mohammed. I hope that this incident puts a serious dent in Tunisia's tourist business! (Hey, one of the non-Jewish German eye-witnesses who survived said that Tunisia's version of what happened was false!!!)
Arabian culture is knee-deep in taquiyyah-talk. They lie, boast and make wild accusations without proof. If you call them out on it, they get mad and will try to kill you for humiliating them with the truth. Talk about self-esteem problems. I won't even go into their ideas of logic...
al qeada will be taking credit of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west before this month is over.
Did you see their new remake of Weekend at Bernies, starring the ever stiff OBL?
LOL, that is exactly what I was comparing it to with a friend this afternoon.
Ever since your "Dead Terrorist Walking" comment shortly after we last saw him alive in December, I've thought OBL only had a future as prop in future movie releases.
This latest Arab Bravo Sierra release, "Does sound like a combo of Weekend Two at Bernie Ben Laden's combined with "Dead Terrorist Walking"
Sounds like a cult semi horror b flick with a real low budget!
"DEAD TERRORIST WALKING IN WEEKEND 2 AT BERNIE BEN LADEN'S"! rated IFT or Islamic Fairy Tales of Bennie Larden, the terrorist you can't kill.
