Al-Muqrin's proud of the Yanbu killings
A statement purportedly from the top al Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday praised gunmen who killed five Westerners last week but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack. "I look proudly on the Yanbu martyrs. The four heroes prepared, planned and executed their operation with precision," said the statement which claimed to be from Abdulaziz al-Muqrin. "They kept their promise to us and chose their target well because it was the site of many Western oil firms occupying our land economically and stealing its wealth," said the statement published on Islamist Web site Sawt al-Jihad. "They cased senior employees of infidel Americans and their allies...and inflicted the greatest pain on the enemies of God. I call on the nation's youth to emulate these heroes and wage jihad with courage. But I urge them to prepare well, be organised and choose their target and timing carefully to avoid shedding Muslim blood which is sacred."
