Al-Jazeera airs video of 'murder' of US national
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | June 14, 2004

Posted on 06/13/2004 12:18:43 PM PDT by sarcasm

Qatar's Al-Jazeera television aired video footage on Sunday of what it said was the murder of US national Robert Jacob in the Saudi capital by suspected Al-Qaeda killers.

The body of a Western-dressed man is seen hitting the ground as several gunshots ring out.

The feet and legs of two men in civilian dress are also shown, apparently the assassins.

The scene is in the covered yard of a residential building where a four-wheel drive vehicle is parked in a garage space.

The footage was attributed to an Al-Qaeda terror cell, which claimed responsibility for the killing.

The video described the victim as "American Jew Robert Jacob, who worked for the spy group Vinnell".

Mr Jacob, 44, who worked for the US Vinnell Corp, which helps train the Saudi National Guard, was shot dead at his home in Riyadh on June 8. He was reportedly shot nine times in the head.

A US national was killed in a drive-by shooting and another American believed to have been kidnapped in the Saudi capital on Saturday amid a bloody campaign by Al-Qaeda to drive Western "infidels" out of the kingdom.

Makes no difference to them, one infidel or another.

Not that I am trying to incite anyone but how long do you think the number of hate crimes against arabs will start to really climb here in the U.S.?

I'm so angry, it's hard to post.

Prayers of strength and comfort to the family of Robert Jacob. Continuing prayers for American, Mr. Johnson, still held captive by subhuman scum.

That vehicle most likely doesn't belong to the scumbags.

He was reportedly shot nine times in the head.
Is there any explanation for this?

Oh yea, it takes extra bullets to really really kill a Jew.(sick)


Actually the cowards are that scared. Notice the only way these "brave" warriors of Islam fight is when the have an unarmed civilian outnumbered. Dishonorable cowards, everyone of them

The moslem men are cowards. Note that they cannot fight man-to-man. They have to kill the unarmed. Or they hide out-of-the-way and set off bombs. And we have all heard of the "brave" moslem stepping into a bus or some place then blowing themselves up. Cowards.

What this video shows is typical. Ambushing some unarmed man and shooting him.

Remember recently when the Scottish Highlanders fixed bayonets and charged a bunch of moslems? The moslems were cut to pieces as they did not have the bravery to fight face-to-face.

I wonder if Americans and other westerners working in Saudi are armed? And if not, why aren't they?

No, it isn't allowed. They don't allow self defense there meaning if a worker can get a gun ( $500 , minimum. Ammo also costs ) and has to kill one of the zipperheads, the person would go to an Arab prison. They may have to change that if they still need Western workers, which they do.

In the jihadi's world, we are all Jews.

I watched the video. Before they murdered this man, these animals ran a series of photos of adults and children in hospital beds with serious wounds. There was a sing-song chant (in Arabic?) repeated throughout the video as background for the images. I guess their message is that the murder of this man was revenge for the people shown in the hospital.

Their own television network, Al Jazeera, has no problem running this propaganda, but our own news media would rather give voice to all the naysayers in our country who work overtime to degrade our commander-in-chief and our military.

I wonder how many of their own people have been killed or hurt by their own bombs and suicide bombers.

Then they run the pictures as if we did it.

"Why have we let al Jazeera continue to exist?"

Ya know...............many may scoff at what may appear to be a rhetorical question that you've posed here.......but I don't.

I agree wholeheartedly that we should take this propaganda arm for terrorism off the air. I mean absolutely, positively shut 'em down.........

........and we can do it, too. NO sweat.

If giving them dirty looks is a hate crime then I should get lethal injection.
