The ruling royals fear Al Qaeda. The ruling royals reaf OBL. The ruling royals fear the back-bench, back-stabbing, out-of-power royals. The ruling royals fear Wahabi clerics who preach fanaticism to the Wahabi hordes. The ruling royals fear the Wahabi hordes. The ruling royals fear us. The ruling royals use Israel as a scapegoat.
Their cooperation is motivated by the love of selling oil and watching there investment portfolios. They hate anything that gets in the way of that and that includes Al Qaeda and that includes Saddam.
Thus, the ruling royals have been a big help with the removal of Saddam and the removal of Al Qaeda.
Interesting post. It suggests that the tally on the first scorecard is 24 out of 26.
Yes.
This is especially true of the educated business classes who control.
Al-Qaida's Leader in Saudi Arabia Killed By ABDULLAH AL-SHIHRI, Associated Press Writer

Security forces killed al-Qaida's leader in Saudi Arabia, who topped the nation's list of most-wanted militants, during a fierce gunbattle Sunday, an Interior Ministry official said.
Younis Mohammed Ibrahim al-Hayari, a Moroccan, was killed during a dawn raid by security forces on an area in the capital where suspected militants were hiding, the official was quoted by the official Saudi Press Agency as saying.
Three other unidentified suspects were arrested, and weapons, ammunition, computers and documents were seized, he said.
The clashes took place in the Rawdah district, an upscale neighborhood in eastern Riyadh, Interior Ministry spokesman Lt. Gen. Mansour al-Turki said.
The unidentified official quoted by SPA said al-Hayari headed Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network in the kingdom, which has been ravaged by terrorist attacks during more than two years of violence.
"He (al-Hayari) was nominated by his peers, and following the death of those preceding him, to be the head of sedition and corruption in the land," the official said in the SPA report.
Al-Hayari topped a list issued Tuesday of 36 most-wanted militants sought for participation in previous terror attacks in the kingdom dating back to 2003. On Wednesday, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef warned that more attacks were possible.
Al-Hayari was believed to have had close ties to Abdul Karim al-Majati, an al-Qaida leader killed in April 2005.
The Interior Ministry official said security forces conducted two simultaneous operations in eastern Riyadh to capture suspects and killed al-Hayari after a shoot-out, while arresting three other suspected militants who were not identified.
It said the first operation ended without incident and with two suspects surrendering. But in the second raid, militants launched a gun battle with troops and lobbed grenades before al-Hayari was killed and another extremist was arrested.
"The two operations have concluded, but we will continue to pursue all the terrorists," al-Turki said.
The report said six security force personnel were slightly wounded in the gun battles while weapons, munitions, communications equipment, computers and documents were seized at both scenes.
According to information released by Saudi authorities earlier this week, al-Hayari entered Saudi Arabia five years ago for the annual hajj pilgrimage season but remained in the country with his wife and young daughter.
Saudi officials said al-Hayari, 36, had regularly disguised himself to avoid capture and had been previously spotted in Riyadh.
This oil-rich kingdom has suffered a series of heavy terrorist attacks since May 2003 when suicide bombers attacked three housing estates for foreigners in the capital Riyadh. The kingdom then launched a wave of retaliatory raids against the militants, and issued a list of 26 most wanted in December 2003. Security forces have killed or captured 23 of the 26 figures on that
Yes.
What's with all the "mohameds" names?
Which Saudi Arabia are you referring to? The Saudi Arabia of the House of Saud, or the Saudi Arabia of the Wahabbi clerics?
Good point. Yossef Bodansky in his latest book (The Secret History Of The Iraq War) talks about a civil war inside the House of Saud. Unfortunately he doesn't provied any footnotes
Nice photos. Half of them look like guys I've seen running the local Pizza places.
Another terrorist bites the dirt, good news!
I was just surprised to find out where all of my dish towels went.
The thing to remember about the al-Sauds is that they do not want terrorism in Saudi Arabia. Elsewhere it is fine. So they will kill or capture those working against their government or they will export them elsewhere.
Just like a tribe of cannibals feeding you well for a month-they are on our side....Clear?
“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”

According to Croatian “Vecernji List” more then 740 muslim terrorist from Asia and Africa got Bosnian passport.
According to Darko Trifunovic, a representative of the Washington-based [NGO] International Strategic Studies Association, “CIA director Porter Goss recently brought a list of 900 names to Sarajevo in connection with the Islamic fundamentalist network.”

According to muslim weekly Dani one of many was Bin Laden. Check upper left video clip showing Izetbegovic sitting with terrorist leaders. Is there Bin Laden present?

Yes, part of the family (the part with the power) is on our side. Part of the family (those not in power - but very, very wealthy) are not on our side. And some of those who are not on our side, are with al-qaida. Well, they fund al-qaida. It's a bored rich man's excitement. Makes them "players".
They can be regarded as being very fiendly..
"I must admit - conspiracy theories or none - I have no idea what to think of Saudi Arabia.
Are they on our side or not?"
You would need to go through the whole country, ask everyone there, and tally up the answers to find out. And it would probably change three or four times before you got done the first time, so you'd have to start over, and over, and over again...
Is that a most wanted list or a mugshot for goat-shaggers anonymous?
