Infamous Al-Qaeda Bloggers Nationalities Reveled
(Sic)
Asharq Al-Awsat ^ | 10/13/05 | Mshari Al-Zaydi

Posted on 10/13/2005 7:14:18 AM PDT by Valin

Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat- Some of the most infamous contributors to
extremist internet chartrooms, known for their support of al Qaeda
and attacks on those intellectuals and politicians who disagree with
fundamentalist Islamic ideology are not Saudi citizens, according to
exclusive information obtained by Asharq al Awsat, but most readers
were.

An informed source, which has monitored these forums for some time
and analyzed the aliases of a number of writers, cited the Arab arena
forum (muntadah al sahah al arabiyah), based in the Untied Arab
Emirates, and writers for the voice of jihad (sawt al jihad) and al
Battar, two online newsletters which represent al Qaeda in Saudi
Arabia as examples.

Umm Osama (the mother of Osama), better known as al Khansa
writes for al Qaeda’s bulletins and, in an interview with Asharq al
Awsat on 12 March 2003, she indicated she headed the women’s wing
of al Qaeda inside the Kingdom.

Known as Fatah al adghal (youth of the jungle), a writer for al Sahah
is in fact a Pakistani national who moved to Saudi Arabia with his
family aged 3. It is difficult for the untrained eye to see that he is not
Saudi especially given his local focus and fluency in the local dialect.
Thought to be around 20, the writer received his religious education in
the Kingdom and has visited Pakistan several times throughout his
life.

According to the source, “Fatah al Adghal’s writings can be divided
into two periods. In his first “confused” phase, he supported al Qaeda.
After the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia and his arrest, he distanced
himself from the extremist group which he accused of a lack of
jurisprudence but continued to criticize and attacks several Saudi
writers, intellectuals, and journalists.”

Another previous notorious contributor was Louis Atiyatallah, who had
an article s published by a London-based Arab newspaper and a book
issued in the British capital. “We are aware he received support from
a certain government and had his writings corrected by Saudis,” the
source said.

Hidden behind the alias was “an Iraqi man named Omar Hadid, who
also called himself Adnan or Marwan Hadid, after the Syrian Muslim
Brotherhood leader Marwan Hadid who repeatedly clashed with the
Assad regime and was later arrested and died in 1975”, the source
added.

Confusion surrounding the identity of the writer was compounded
when a third person named Marwan Hadid, a Syria who woks in the
Saudi city of al Taif , was discovered. Nevertheless, it is the Iraqi
Omar Hadid who wrote under the alias Louis Atiyatallah and was killed
in Iraq . His penname survived his death and has been used by others
who share his ideology and views if not the distinctive writing style. “It
is not unusual in some cases for nicknames to be used by others with
access to restricted areas on internet forums,” the source said. For
example, in the case of al Mutawathib, three different individuals were
known to use the name and write in support of al Qaeda in Saudi
Arabia and publish its statements on al sahah.

It transpired that the real Umm Osama was an Egyptian woman in her
mid-twenties living in Medina who was interested in communicating
with extremists. She was arrested and released after it was
discovered that she was using internet message boards to fill time.

Dr. Habibi al Luwayhiq al Mutayri, of the Saudi Human Rights
Association, was accused by some of being Fatah al adgal but he
denied this in an article published on al sahah using his real name.

Fatah al adghal had co-written an article entitled personal memories
with “Bashir al Najdi” and “The brother who obeyed God (Akhu man
ta’ Allah”) who was arrested during a confrontation with the security
services in al Rawabi, east of Riyadh, last May. The Ministry of Interior
later indicated that his real name was

Abdul Aziz al Tuwayli al Anzi, according to the Ministry of Interior; he
also wrote under the pseudonym Abdullah bin Nasser al Rashid and
Farhan bin Mashur al Ruwaili in sawt al jihad on the internet.

In the article, Fatah al Adghal remembered his discussions with “Akhu
man ta’ Allah” and regretted the latter’s decision to join al Qaeda. “He
supported me against my adversaries and defended me. He was shy
at the beginning but quickly grew in confidence. His talent soon
started to shine through and he developed a unique style”, he said.

He also reminisced how the two men rejoiced at the September 11
attacks and cheered the 199 hijackers, writing, “I recall our
admiration for Louis Atiyatallah, who held an important position in an
internet forum. The Kuwaiti Muhammad al Mulayfi and the writer al
Zawwaq al Twwaq were also part of our circle. They wrote about the
war in Afghanistan and celebrated the attack on New York City.”

The close friendship did not last very long as Fatah al adghal refused
to support the terrorist bombings that took place in Saudi Arabia in
2003 and remembered being “suspicious of an article defending the
attacks” written by “Akhu man ta’ Allah””.

Fatah’s own recollections received mixed reviews in internet chat
rooms with one member Sindibad criticizing the article in the Saudi
Dar al Nadwah forum for being a preemptive attempt to deflect
attention from its author’s activities and prevent any action by the
security services.

In one of his latest articles, Fatah al adghal criticized the Saudi writer
Abdullah bin Bajad al Utaybi for supervising a television series aired
on MBC during Ramadan analyzing the phenomenon of terrorism.

Said Jane @ 6:07 pm
400 Sick Kids, No Hospitals

Probably from the dirty drinking
water

Al-Sahwa net
(10/8/05)-
Pediatricians in the
western Yemeni city of
Hodiedah on Saturday
warned of an
environmental
catastrophe that might
befall the city due to
the spread of diarrhea
and fever amongst the
children, Al-Sahwa net
reporter affirmed.

The correspondent
said that some 400
kids were suffering
from acute diarrhea,
vomiting, and fever and
that some of them were
now lying in the ICU as
others were inflicted
with severe
constipation.

He noted that 212
children were admitted
into a number of the
city’s private hospitals
for treatment, with the
residents complaining
that the concerned
authorities didn’t offer
the necessary medical
service to their loved
ones.

The coastal city
inhabitants appealed to
the relevant authorities
to come forward and
perform their duty
toward the ailing
children before it was
too late.

sickening, really sickening,
considering all the money flowing out
of the public budget into the pockets
of Ali Saleh and his band of thieves

Bad timing blamed for group's detainment
The Daily Oklahoman ^ | October 12, 2005 | Randy Ellis and Judy Gibbs Robinson

Bad timing blamed for group's detainment

By Randy Ellis and Judy Gibbs Robinson
The Oklahoman

NORMAN - A University of Oklahoma instructor from Egypt said he
and others of foreign descent were handcuffed at gunpoint and
questioned after the OU bomb blast Oct. 1, but added he is not bitter.

"Not at all. I understand. They explained. But if they keep coming
back -- that's something else," Hossam Barakat said. "Because I'm
not guilty in any way."

Barakat, 37, blames unfortunate timing.

The roommate of the student killed by the explosion just happened to
wander into an apartment where he and four or five others were
visiting.

Also arrested was Pakistani student Fazal M. Cheema, the roommate
of the student who apparently killed himself with a bomb, Joel "Joe"
Henry Hinrichs III. Cheema took a polygraph test and later was
released, The Oklahoman has learned.

The others do not wish to be identified or interviewed, Barakat said.
He described them as either born abroad or Americans of Middle
Eastern descent but said he does not believe they were targeted
because of nationality or religion.

Chechen rebel forces took responsibility Thursday for a coordinated

the group is part of the Chechen rebel armed forces and includes
