From Iran's IRIB News, with thanks to Twostellas:
Dubai, May 14 - A statement purported to be from the Al-Qaeda chief in Saudi Arabia said on Friday that one of the terror network's cells had carried out a recent attack at a petrochemical plant which killed five westerners."The Yanbu cell which carried out the heroic, successful operation this month is one of the most eloquent and best examples" of what militants should seek to achieve, said the statement attributed to Abdul Aziz Al-Muqrin and posted on an Islamist website.
The authenticity of the statement could not be independently confirmed.
Four gunmen went on a shooting rampage at the plant in the industrial Red Sea port of Yanbu on May 1, killing two Americans, two Britons and an Australian.
A Saudi national guardsman was also shot dead in gunbattles before the carnage ended with the death of the assailants.
"Our brother Abu Ammar Mustafa Al-Ansari, God rest his soul, was from the cream of the Mujahedeen, having waged Jihad (holy war) in Afghanistan and Somalia," said the message allegedly penned by Muqrin, who tops a list of most-wanted presumed Al-Qaeda militants in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi authorities have identified the leader of the Yanbu assailants, all from the same family, as Mustafa Abdul Kader Abed Al-Ansari.
' is one of the most eloquent and best examples" of what militants should seek to achieve'.
Like the dragging of a body through the streets until its clothing is ripped off.
If the Islamic extremists place so little value on human life and respect for the dead then how can they complain about the abuse of prisoners at Al Graib?
The answer is that the real reason the middle east is so shaken up by the prison photos is because it has been shamed and humiliated.
Shame and humiliation are the driving forces behind the jihadists.
I guess they don't like it when it's done to them, isn't that a shame? They should never let their faces be shown in DC and NY.......we want blood. And I can guarantee they would be attacked. It's okay for them to terrorize people but when we do it it's not okay? give me a break. Not that I necessarily condone what has happened, it doesn't greatly bother me as they aren't being killed and as far as I'm concerned, it's part of war, get over it.
