Abdullah is almost 100% sure of the cause of the beheading

...Jubeir tried to assure Americans that Saudi Arabia had tried its best to rescue Johnson from his captors, who said they would kill Johnson if hundreds of Al Qaeda members in Saudi jails were not released. A three-day deadline was set last week after his kidnapping. "The people of Saudi Arabia are outraged by the cruel and cold-blooded murder of this innocent man," Jubeir said. He said that 15,000 Saudi security personnel had been involved in the search for Johnson, whose body was found in a Riyadh suburb. On Friday, photos of his beheaded corpse were posted on the Internet by his killers. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Abdullah blamed Israel for the execution. Speaking to Saudi television, he said, "Zionism is behind it. It has become clear now. It has become clear to us. I don’t say, I mean... It is not 100 percent, but 95 percent that the Zionist hands are behind what happened." Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said, "Al-Qaida is backed by Israel and Zionism, " and a Saudi official in the US argued that Zionists and others who argue for regime change in Saudi Arabia "share the same objective as Osama bin Laden."
When faced with the choice between the bottle in front of him and a frontal lobotomy, it is quite obvious which option he took. Good Muslims don’t drink alcohol. I think Nayef rode to school on the short camel.
