DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda group claimed responsibility for Friday's attack on a major Saudi oil facility at Abqaiq, the group said in an Internet statement.
The statement, posted by the al Qaeda Group in the Peninsula on a Web site often used by militant groups, said two of its members carried out the suicide operation but gave no details.
The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.

...said two of its members carried out the suicide operation but gave no details. Were the explosives hidden in their turban, or were they wearing the traditional muslim beltbomb? Am I the only one who misses the old time traditional clothes that were just colorful?

We must be vigilant...they may be diversionary attacks used to tie up some of our intel assets overseas. Note that a cell was taken out in Ohio...and the car crash with the mooslime having a million dollar check and some credit cards on him. (If I had the talent to link the thread...I would if I could but I can't so I won't.)
And the gas stations in LouWeezieAnna.
Or maybe I am watching too many battle plan shows on History Channel on demand! :-)

Sounds like what the message from OBL a couple months ago said for them to do.

I'm sure all those saudi's who live like Trump will gladly give up running water and electricity and go back to living in tents.

Mmmmm...I'm not so sure. Hasn't the royal family pretty much sold it's soul to the wahabi's in order to keep their power, prestige, and wealth?

And they stole Algebra from India anyway. So, I guess that leaves them with "animal husbandry".

One might think they would be embarrased to admit they failed once again. Dopes drive at high speed bomb ladden vehicle(s) toward into a road that they know will have perhaps 25mm recoiless rifles, tow missiles, 50 caliber machine guns waiting to fill them full of lead and explosions. I realize they are goons, but they are also dopes.

Dopes, for sure. Only dopes would want to live in the 9th Century instead of in the 21st.

"..And they stole Algebra from India anyway..." And anyway, India stole the idea of the Kama Sutra from Barney Frank...

One might think they would be embarrased to admit they failed once again. Failed in terms of destructiveness but did a job on crude prices.

A great deal is made of Wahabbism, however in respect to Subjugation or death to all infidels (non believers) they don't teach anything that the other seven schools of Islamic theology.
