CAIRO, Egypt - The head of the al-Qaida cell that killed Paul M. Johnson Jr. justified targeting the American engineer in a message written before he himself was killed in a gunbattle with Saudi security forces.In an article posted Sunday on a Web site used by Islamic radicals, Abdulaziz al-Moqrin called Johnson "an infidel, a warrior of the military."
Johnson, who had worked on Apache helicopters for Lockheed Martin in Saudi Arabia, "works for military aviation and he belongs to the American army, which kills, tortures and harms Muslims everywhere, which supports enemies (of Islam) in Palestine, Philippines, Kashmir (news - web sites)," al-Moqrin wrote.
The article, posted on the Web site "Sout al-Jihad," or "Voice of Holy War," was written after the kidnapping but apparently before Johnson was killed on Friday.
Al-Moqrin replied to critics urging the release of Johnson, saying: "Do those people want to see this infidel carry on the killing of the children and the raping of the women in Baghdad and Kabul?"
Al-Moqrin, believed to be the top al-Qaida figure in Saudi Arabia, was killed along with three other militants in a Riyadh gunbattle Friday night, hours after photos of Johnson's body and severed head were posted on Web site.
Whatever. You're dead now, dude.
Well, so let's provide them with the same justice that they mete out. Just think of all the money we would save if we behead the Guantanamo detainees and from here out we execute terrorists on the spot. Fair's fair!
This whole tragedy is really a "Darwin Award for Muslims" event. They killed Johnson, someone who meant nothing to them and wound up losing one of their top leaders and a few more.
To be more accurate, it should read "Al Qaida Justifies Targeting Johnson Head"
Demons have no genitals. So all are by definition "virgins."
FWIW, the head of the Indonesian navy recently authorized that pirates caught in the Strait of Malaca be killed on the spot, no questions asked (unless they beg for forgiveness).
The jihadis' entire "movement" is a Darwin winner.
The best example being the Jakarta JW Marriott bombing with 95 Muslim casualities (killed and injured).
And the Taliban, and OBL in hiding, and Fallujah (residents now victimized by jihadis), etc etc etc. Their gains are minimal, and with extraordinary losses to their adherents.
Wonder who dared to come claim the bodies for burial and where will they be buried at? Will there be a mob scene carrying the coffins through the streets? Can we arrest/kill the "mourners"? We never get the "details". I want to know funeral arrangements.
Excellent observation.
"Let him go play with his 72 virgins. What a joke."
Since this cheap bastard is stewing in hell, his virgins:
1. All look like Madeline Half-bright, or
2. Are all demons.
Nice choice of words.
WOW, is he going to be surprised when he tries to get into heaven and finds out there was no raping of women and killing of children, except for his buddies who aren't particular who they blow up and kill.
