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.

How do we take action against shadow fighters without killing scores of civilians? They have the advantage on us because if we so much as throw a thong on one of their heads you'll have Nancy Pelosi Galore going on camera about how terrible our military is. But they can gun people down and they don't worry about getting the bad press. They don't care. We care too much, I think. Until we wake up and realize it's them or us we will continue to be victims.

Another sick video taped and distributed by sick animals. You can hear the man begging for his life, then after he is shot numerous times, it appears to me that they are sawing his head off like Nick Berg. I true religion of peace, and a group of truly civilized people.

Pack them up on trains, ship them back to their home countries, then nuke their home countries until nothing can live for 10,000 years.

Naw, we'll just endlessly take this stuff. Just watch. 3000 wasn't enough, 30000 won't be enough to act either, neither will 3m. Nobody cares!

Jews are not allowed in Saudi Arabia. In the demented minds of Al Qaeda, it makes no difference. Americans are Islam's Jews, fit only for slaughter.

We need to play it their way, and round them up here and do it. C'mon people, this is out of control religous warfare.

Not all arabs are islamic, and not everyone that looks arab is either. My friend is from India and gets slack sometimes. He's more anti-islam than me.

There can be a viable method of clearing islam from this country and destroying its homelands. That's the goal we have to get to, and to avoid hurting any innocents.

Action needs to be taken by leaders who don't care about polls, leftists, traitors, Democrats, or the media. Oh, I repeat myself.

Maybe if (when) GWB wins in November. I hope with every fiber of my being that he wins. If he loses, I can't even imagine the horror.

Time to level al jazeera's facilities ... they were notified of the crime prior to it happening and aided in getting the max propaganda exposure. Blow the bastards off the map.

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.

Ah, yes - Operation Slice-N-Dice. Pig stickin' at its finest.

Ragheads don't seem to fare so well against those who don't appear on their islammo "preferred list" - e.g., toddlers, bus passengers, hostages, anyone with a weapon sharper than a butter knife, etc.

Nothing more than a cancer upon the backside of humanity since the 7th century.

WAAAAAY past time for a little "surgery."

Troglodyte death cult.

I speak some Arabic so when I hear them talk I can tell the difference between Arabic and Hindi, Urdu or Bengali. I can also differentiate their ethnic features.

Pure savagery. And I have never heard a more evil-sounding song than that creepy chant in the video.

Goodness, you're right about that. My wife and I have both worked with naturalized and first generation Hindu Indians from time to time and their unequivocal denunciations of Islam would turn a multiculturalist pink with embarassment. I don't know what Jainists or Sihks think, though, and would be interested.

They've experienced it longer than we have. The pakistan/kashmir conflict between decent Hindus and insane islamics is more severe than just about any other.

We gotta rally behind one side or the other, there is no 'religion of peace' stuff.
