Zitat:Saudis debate Islamic basis for killing Westerners
The imminent threat to the life of US hostage Paul Johnson triggers a range of views on Islamic websites

CAIRO - Does the killing of foreigners in Saudi Arabia have the sanction of religion?
A debate on the issue swirled on Islamic websites this week amid pleas to the militants to spare the life of abducted American engineer Paul Johnson.
Among the arguments put forward were that Westerners working in Saudi Arabia were not invaders but had been invited and should, therefore, be protected.
Mr Johnson's kidnappers have threatened to kill him if the government does not release all imprisoned militants.
In one unusual website posting, a Saudi man who said he had worked with the kidnap victim, and had even discussed Islam with him, went so far as to try to extend a kind of religiously inspired traditional tribal form of protection known as 'ijara' that would forbid killing Mr Johnson.
'I hereby declare my protection and rescue for this man along with all his colleagues who work with us in the company, who ate with us and accepted our gifts of Islamic books which they promised to read,' wrote Mr Saad Al-Moemen.

Zitat:Saudis Search for Slain Hostage's Body
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi security agents searched homes in the capital and surrounding deserts Saturday for the body of slain American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr., while Saudi officials hailed as a victory their slaying of his executioner, the top al-Qaida figure in the kingdom.

But the U.S. ambassador said he doubted the death of Abdulaziz al-Moqrin, who officials said was gunned down in a firefight the night before, would stop the violence against Westerners in Saudi Arabia.

I think a lot of Americans, certainly those favoring withdrawal from Iraq and efforts to negotiate with al-Qaeda and the nations supporting its holy war, have not yet figured out that the Islamic fundamentalists who beheaded Daniel Pearl and Nick Berg, who attacked this nation on 9/11, and who represent the insurgents in Iraq, want us dead. Unless, of course, we convert to Islam.

Seattle Times staff reporter
CONRAD, Mont. — Shannen Rossmiller finds early mornings are best for hunting terrorists.
When it's 4 a.m. in this one-stoplight prairie town, it's 3 p.m. in, say, Karachi, Pakistan, the sweltering hours just before the evening call to prayer. That's when Rossmiller, while her husband and three children sleep, finds the Internet chat rooms and bulletin boards frequented by radical Muslims and jihad warriors are busiest.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A voice believed to be that of al Qaeda hijack leader Mohamed Atta urged passengers to "stay quiet and you'll be OK" as the hijackers steered American Airlines Flight 11 toward New York, the independent commission investigating the September 11 attacks reported Thursday.

"Nobody move. Everything will be OK," the voice said in a recording first played publicly in the commission's final hearing.

The 9/11 Commission raises more questions than it answers.


The 9/11 Commission's staff has come down decidedly on the side of the naysayers about operational ties between Saddam Hussein's regime and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. This development is already being met with unbridled joy by opponents of the Iraq war, who have been carping for days about recent statements by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney that reaffirmed the deposed Iraqi regime's promotion of terror.

Zitat:Bush and 9/11 Report: Into the Frame

DEBKAfile Special Analysis

June 17, 2004, 3:33 PM (GMT+02:00)

The US independent commission’s interim account of the September 11 terror attacks in the United States is full of holes and inconsistencies, according to American and Israeli intelligence experts close to the war against al Qaeda. One of its least plausible claims is that Osama bin Laden had pressed to launch the strikes in the summer of 2000, shortly after Israel’s soon-to-be prime minister Ariel Sharon made a highly controversial visit to a disputed holy site in Jerusalem. Later, he pressured the hijackers to strike in May 2001 and in June and July when Sharon would be visiting the White House. Each time, he was told the commandos were not ready, the report said.

A senior expert gave this comment to DEBKAfile: “We see here the outcome of a cynical attempt to link Sharon, Israel and the Jews to the September 11 atrocities.

AS THE violence in Saudi Arabia continues to spiral, the terrorist cell responsible for a spate of attacks on Westerners has been smashed in a shootout after they dumped the decapitated body of an American defence contractor.

Al-Qaeda’s leader in the kingdom and three other prominent militants were hunted down and killed hours after the group beheaded US hostage Paul Johnson.

Twelve others were arrested, including one senior militant believed to have been involved in the 2000 bombing of the US warship Cole off the coast of neighbouring Yemen. A car found at the scene also linked the gang to the recent murder of a cameraman and the wounding of a security correspondent both working for the BBC.

Zitat:Iran kritisiert US-Anti-Terror-Politik

Die iranische Regierung hat die Hinrichtung des US-Ingenieurs Paul Johnson durch El-Kaida-Terroristen in SaudiArabien als "unmenschlich" verurteilt.
Das Aussenministerium in Teheran machte zugleich die "verfehlte" US-Politik im Anti-Terror-Kampf für den Tod des 49Jährigen verantwortlich: Die USA hätten den Terrorismus "nicht vermindert, sondern verschlimmert", hiess es.
Johnson war vor einer Woche entführt und am Freitag getötet worden. Am Samstag töteten saudische Sicherheitskräfte den mutmasslichen Anführer der Geiselnehmer, den El-Kaida-Chef in SaudiArabien und drei andere Verdächtige

Zitat:Nicht allein die Tötung eines eher zufällig ausgewählten Vertreters der verhassten Besetzer soll schockieren, sondern die Zelebrierung der Gewalt vor laufenden Kameras. Die Terroristen greifen dabei laut Islam-Experten auf eine alte arabische Tradition zurück, bei welcher der Emir durch die Hinrichtung seinen Herrschaftsanspruch untermauert.
