Saudi Arabia blames "Zionists" for deadly attack
Jerusalem Post & AP
Sunday, May 2, 2004
----
"Zionism is behind terrorist actions in the kingdom," the Saudi Press Agency quoted Crown Prince Abdullah as telling a gathering of princes in Jiddah.
Zionism had misled "some of our sons," he said without elaborating.
Abdullah was speaking a day after four gunmen opened fire at an oil contractor's office in the industrial city of Yanbu, killing at least seven people - two Americans, two Britons, two Australians and a Saudi - and wounding 25 before leading police on a bloody chase, dragging the body of one victim behind their car.
Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah said "Zionists' hands" were behind Saturday's attacks.
"Saudi Arabia is being targeted by Zionists...we are 95 percent sure that Zionists' hands were behind what happened," he said.
(...)
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that top Saudi al-Qaida leader Abdulaziz al-Muqrin has called for the bodies of Americans to be dragged through Saudi streets, urged fighters to expel "infidel" Americans from the birthplace of Islam and target security forces who stand in their way.
"God willing, the day will come when bodies of Americans and Jews will be dragged, humiliated and trampled in the Arabian peninsula, them and their tyrants and allies. The day will come, God willing, when we will destroy their bases over their heads and kick them out of our land," Reuters reported.

[JohnLocke]

7. LMAO (nt)

[ugarte]

2. What's Osama's Hebrew name?

:)

3. it is pretty bloody confusing

how we can be friends with Sharon and the Saudi royal family at the same time.

I don't think we can ever straighten out our role in the middle east until somebody figures out a way to resolve this.

[JohnLocke]

4. Oil, Religion, and Greed, my friend.

We support Sharon because he supports a greater Israel encompassing all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The extreme Christian right believes this will hasten Armageddon, bring the Second Coming. We support the Saudi Royal Family because they "play ball" with America, allowing us to drill their oil.

11. the saudi`s could give

a shit less about palestine if they did the usa policy would change and we would no longer give money and aide to israel. we would side with palestinians and it would be alot different. the saudi`s use the jews as a whipping boy so no one will look at how corrupt they are..

[maggrwaggr]

12. that's the best theory I've heard so far

thanks!

[Aussie_Hillbilly]

19. Perfectly stated.

[Malikshah]

5. "allies?"

The Saudis or the Pro-Israeli Zionists?

Neither in my opinion.

[JohnLocke]

6. I'm a pro-Israel Zionist.

I'm not a Sharon-type Likudist. Big, big, big difference.

[Malikshah]

9. My response is still the same

A pro-Israeli Zionist = ally to US
Saudi Arabia = ally to US

Both are up for debate-- my point was clarity in the subject line of the initial post.

[drdon326]

22. Ditto.

[drfemoe]

23. um . how many

factions do we really *need*? ? Is the answer to break ideology down into tinier and more defined pieces? And then KILL people over our distinctions?

It's still a scary bloody mess, no matter what moniker you put on it.

I believe the majority of humanity has the desire and capacity to live in peace.
I just keep asking myself, why do we continue to allow the minority to screw that for all of us?

jmo ..

[kalian]

27. I don't think so....

but then again, I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are.

[newyorican]

28. A distinction...

without a difference.

In this case, matters of degree, from someone who believes in torture, can only be measured with a micrometer.

[mitchum]

8. I blame The House of Saud for those attacks (because it's the truth)

[madrchsod]

10. these guys are as

scummy as the guys running our country-no wonder they get along. i`m sure no one would object if we heeded abdulaziz and get the hell out of this rathole of a country.fuck the saudi`s and their perversion of islam..

[GirlinContempt]

13. Allies...

I always found it... erm... INTERESTING that the US and Saudi Arabia are so... chummy... yeah... Especially in light of the whole 'Terrorist Iraq' mumbo jumbo
I mean, 15 of the 19 Sept. 11th hijackers were Saudi Arabian.
They have possibly the worst human rights record in the world.
And, that big baddie Osama is a Saudi multi-millionare... and probably IN Saudi Arabia.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. The RW cabal is as commited to fight Islamic fundamentalism...

as it is to fighting Communist tyranny *cough*China*cough*

[JohnLocke]

14. Kick (nt).

:kick::kick::kick:

[Loonman]

15. House of Saud is a collection of liars and murderers.

Utter scum.

[Disturbed]

16. House of Saud is a collection of liars and murderers.

That's why Bushco gets along with them so well.

[JohnLocke]

17. ...and thieves.

Don't forget that.

[rebellious woman]

18. Saudis, in process of reading older book on

House of Saud, published 1973 by David Holden who
was murdered in Cairo and never finished his writing. A
gentleman by the name of Richard Johns finished it. It
it an eye opener and one understands where all of this
Arabia/British/USA started. Might also read the
"Money Rush" and other interesting old book. Self
explanatory once again of oil, money, greed written
in 1970's by Andrew Duncan. When one reads these
older volumes you know where this country is going.

[frylock]

25. thx for the 411 on house of saud..

gonna keep my eye out for this one. Welcome to the DU!

[Lithos]

29. Thanks for the book tips

Always on the lookout for the older books.

[Lithos]

30. Oh and WELCOME to DU!

[JohnLocke]

20. Kick (nt).

[number6]

24. These are our "allies."

no the allies of the bu$h crime family...

[Jack Rabbit]

26. Gee, you mean somebody is more deluded than the Frat Boy?

If the Crown Prince really believes this, somebody should design his next royal robe so that the sleeves can be securely fastened in the back.
