Al-Qaeda statement says high oil prices in Muslims' interest
Fri Jun 04 2004 11:15:04 ET

A purported Al-Qaeda statement claimed Friday that high oil prices, which were pushed up further by last weekend's deadly attacks on foreign oil workers in Saudi Arabia, were "in the interests of Muslims".

"The rise in oil prices is in the interests of the Muslim people," said the message attributed to Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin, who was identified as "the chief of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula".

It added that the attacks on the oil-producing Saudi city of Al-Khobar "has placed the Saudi government in an impasse with the surge in oil prices which hit a record of 42 dollars a barrel."

The statement also denounced "the tyrants" who "plunder the wealth of Muslims."

It was posted on the website www.qal3ah.org and its authenticity could not be verified.

The spike in prices to record highs this week was partly driven by the attacks on Al-Khobar in the kingdom's Eastern Province in which 22 people were killed.
