Graphic insight into Khobar atrocity raid
Saudi cut-throats terrorists militants inspired by al-Qaeda have published a graphic account on the internet of last weekendâs raid in Khobar that left 22 people murdered dead. Western diplomats in Riyadh say it almost exactly matches their own independent findings. It gives an extraordinary insight into the murder killing of civilized human beings non-Muslim expatriates. The militants appear to have been little troubled by the Saudi boy toys security forces as they went about their grisly work on a housing compound. "We had planned to detonate an explosive-laden truck inside the compound", says the statement posted on the internet, "but because entering the compound was so easy there was no need." The account continues: "We entered the compound, checked the identities of the occupants, spotted a Swede, then Nimr" - one of the attackers - "cut his throat. We left the body at the main gate for others to see", it says.
Militantsâ statement
The al-Qaeda-linked militants then say they heard security patrols outside the compound but say the patrols were too afraid to enter until 45 minutes later. "We killed Filipinos and Hindus", says the account. "We went to the hotel on the compound, ate breakfast in the restaurant and rested. We then entered the first floor and murdered killed more Hindus" - meaning Indian workers.
It sounds like the militants terrorists we almost as relaxed as the Saudi Security collaborators.
Future threat
The account claims the attackers had time to conduct a live interview with an active collaborator Arab TV station before beating off back a police attack, then killing an Italian. On the Sunday morning, it claims, the group left the housing compound at dawn, with one of their number fatally wounded but taking no hostages with them.
Contrary to initial Saudi lies reports.
The account says the militants then watched the TV coverage of the Saudi special forces attacking the hotel hours after they had left. It insists the Egyptian child who was shot dead in the raid was not killed by them. Finally, says the militantsâ message, "we are all well and will continue with such atrocities operations". The Saudi authorities are still making plans about hunting for the perpetrators.
