Qaeda planned to kill pilgrims in Mecca: Riyadh
Qaeda fighters were plotting to kill Muslim pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca during the fasting month of Ramadan, the Saudi interior minister said after security forces shot dead two âterroristsâ.
| Banged those "terrorists" right through the "brisket," by golly. Now they're "dead." |
All eight members of an Islamist cell smashed in Mecca on Monday were from the Al Qaeda network run by Saudi-born terror mastermind Osama bin Laden, Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz told Tuesdayâs Al-Riyadh newspaper. âUndoubtedly, they all belong to the same movement and follow the same tactics,â the minister said when asked if the cell was linked to Al-Qaeda which the Saudi authorities blamed for killing 35 people in Riyadh in May.
