| Bullwinkle: | "Hey, Rocky, watch me kill an al-Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia!" |
| Rocky: | "Again?" |
next....
I must admit - conspiracy theories or none - I have no idea what to think of Saudi Arabia.
Are they on our side or not?
ping
We gave to S.A. a list of their 26 most wanted terrorists. I think they are now up to 24 or 25 caught.
There support for us during the Iraqi invasion was praised by U.S. generals.
Is their cooperation motivated by love or fear? Those captures are a shrewd sacrifice if it buys them appeasement while they conduct secret activities againt us.
One by one, day by day, they are being confronted and defeated. Any capture or kill is a good thing.
pingarooo !!!
One thing to remember, Al-Qaida in SA is viewed as a threat by the rulers, as SA is slipping slowly towards the end of the monarchy. Revolutionaries like Al-Qaida foment the hoped-for revolution. The Saudi gov't is just as happy to erase them as we are to have them erased.
Which Saudi Arabia are you referring to? The Saudi Arabia of the House of Saud, or the Saudi Arabia of the Wahabbi clerics? The two are NOT one and the same.
Nevertheless, neither is on "our" side. The Saudi Arabia of the Wahabbi clerics is firmly in Osama Bin Ladin's camp, while the Saudi Arabia of the House of Saud is on it's own "side", at least for the moment...
the infowarrior
He was killed while being fixed? Thsat happened to one of my cats.
That translates as, " he needed killing".

| Saudi Arabia issues New list of wanted ”terrorist” suspects Asharq Al-Awsat Exclusive: Al Qaeda''s in Saudi Arabia''s new leader is a Moroccan National 29/06/2005
In the latest response to a two-year campaign of bombings and killings by supporters of Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda group, state television broadcasted pictures of the suspects and offered large rewards for their capture. These individuals were no ordinary criminals but “members of a dangerous group who distort Islam, promote deviant ideology and threaten the security of the country”, said Lieutenant Mansur al Turki, Interior Ministry spokesman. Officials say at least 90 civilians and more than 40 members of the security forces have been killed by militants and attacks have caused at least 250 million US dollars worth of damage.
But police have killed more than 100 militants in the same period and there have been no attacks this year on the scale of the multiple suicide bombings of residential compounds in 2003 or the targeted killings of Westerners twelve months ago. The Ministry offered a reward of up to 1.8 million US dollars for anyone who helps capture a militant or foil an attack. Most of the wanted men were Saudis but some were from Chad, Yemen, Morocco and Mauritania. Fifteen were believed to be at large in the Kingdom while 21 were outside Saudi Arabia, the statement reported on national television. Al Turki revealed that the Ministry had contacted the respective governments of the individuals on the list who are not Saudi citizens but received no reply. The authorities therefore decided to publish their names. According to a security source who spoke with Asharq Al-Awsat on the condition of anonymity the most dangerous member of the next generation of terrorists is 36 year old Younes Mohamed Ibrahim Al-Hayari of Morocco. "Our assessment is that he is now the leader of Al-Qaeda terrorist group in Saudi Arabia". "He is highly trained in military combat and was trained in Bosnia." The sources also added that Al-Hayari entered the kingdom with a Bosnian passport, that he is married to a Bosnian woman, and that they have a child together and are both with him. Asharq Al-Awsat also spoke with the family of the 22nd most wanted on the new list. According to Saleh Al-Muhayani, Fahd's father, his 24 year old son has been missing since October of last year, and after he was forced out of the house for his behavior. "After a while, I notified the police because I was worried about him. They interviewed me and asked me to contact them if I knew anything about his whereabouts." Saudi security consultant Nawaf Obeid said most of the Saudis who make up 29 of the 36 names on the new list were “second tier” militants who had worked under more senior operatives, most of who have been killed or captured. Three people were still wanted from the original list, al Turki added, since the Ministry has not yet obtained concrete proof that Abdullah Mohammed Rashid al Rushoud was killed in Iraq during a military operation in the city of al Qaim , as claimed by al Qaeda. The new list does not include the two surviving individuals from the original list, Salah Mohammed al Alawi al Ufi and Talib Saud al Talib, both Saudi citizens, who have still not been captured. In its latest statement, the Saudi authorities called on all suspected militants to surrender themselves to the police, adding that it had informed their families of their fugitive status. It also warned against providing assistance to the 36 most wanted men as anyone who does so could be prosecuted for supporting terrorism.
