Saudi police assisted abduction of US hostage: report |
Saudi Arabia is a mess. Al Qaeda has sympatizers inside Saudi security
forces. It still allows 'charities' to funnel money to terrorist
organizations.
Pakistan is equally a threat. It has nukes and likely the highest
concentration of Fundie Nuts of any Islamic country.
Iran is revved on the 'Nuclear Runway' and ready for take-off.
And let's not forget N.Korea. The original 'Nut With A Nuke'.
So why was Bush so preoccupied with Iraq?? No nukes, no WMD's, no
significant concentration of Al Qaeda members or supporters (until lately),
and no collaborative links with Bin Laden or Al Qaeda.
Maybe it was the oil. And it appeared to be the easiest Islamic country of
the bunch to invade ... at least it seemed that way.
November can't come fast enough.

Saudi police assisted abduction of US hostage: report
June 21, 2004
Cairo: The al-Qaeda cell that kidnapped and killed American Paul Johnson Jr
said in an online periodical today sympathisers in the kingdom's security
forces supplied it with police uniforms and vehicles and set up fake
checkpoints to facilitate last week's abduction.
The details of the kidnapping appeared in Sawt al-Jihad, or Voice of Holy
War, a semi-monthly online periodical published by al-Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula. A separate article, the final one written by cell leader
Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, killed in a shootout on Friday night, justified
Johnson's slaying.
The first article said militants wearing police uniforms and using police
cars set up a fake checkpoint on al-Khadma Road, leading to the airport,
near Imam Mohammed bin Saud University.
When Johnson's car approached the checkpoint on June 12, the militants in
police uniforms stopped his car - a Toyota Camry - detained him,
anaesthetised him and carried him to another car, the article said.

It said they then blew up Johnson's car.
"This car is the one the Saudi media claimed was laden with explosives and
that (the security) seized and defused it," the article said.
Security officials said last week Johnson's car was found near Imam
University. Saudi press reports said the car was booby-trapped and later
caught fire.
"A number of the cooperators who are sincere to their religion in the
security apparatus donated those clothes and the police cars. We ask God to
reward them and that they use their energy to serve Islam and the
mujahideen," the article said.
Diplomats and Westerners in the kingdom have expressed fears that militants
may have infiltrated Saudi security forces and other institutions. Saudi
officials have denied this, and there has been no indication militants used
government contacts in Johnson's kidnapping.
The al-Qaeda article said the militants decided to behead Johnson when Adel
al-Jubeir, foreign affairs adviser to Crown Prince Abdullah in Washington,
declared that Saudi Arabia would not negotiate with the kidnappers, who had
demanded the release of jailed al-Qaeda militants by Friday in exchange for
Johnson's life.
"The stupid Saudi government took the initiative and announced by the
Americanised tongue Adel Al-Jubeir that it will not submit to the
conditions of the mujahideen, claiming that it doesn't negotiate with
terrorists," the statement read.
The group said it beheaded Johnson when the deadline expired.
Muqrin's final article, written after Johnson's kidnapping, described the
American as "an infidel, a warrior of the military...
"He works for military aviation and he belongs to the American army which
kills, tortures and harms Muslims everywhere, which supports enemies (of
Islam) in Palestine, Philippines, Kashmir."
Johnson, 49, had worked on Apache helicopters for Lockheed Martin.
Muqrin replied to critics urging the release of Johnson, saying: "Do those
people want to see this infidel carry on the killing of the children and
the raping of the women in Baghdad and Kabul in order to bless his
killing?"
He said it is no excuse that Johnson was not a member of the US military.
"According to this twisted logic, US President George W Bush, Secretary of
Defence Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell and others are
innocent and peaceful because they are like the hostage; all of them do not
wear the military uniform and ... stay away from the battlefield," Muqrin
wrote.
"We can't preserve the dignity of Muslims except through these means," he
wrote.
