| I thought they vowed attacks before the holy men were dead, too. Did we miss something? DUBAI - A purported al Qaeda e-mail has vowed revenge attacks on the Saudi royal family over reports that Saudi police killed two Muslim clerics during a manhunt after the Riyadh blasts. Saudi Arabia has denied the reports and said the outspoken clerics, who have issued religious edicts against close Saudi-Western ties, were among suspects held after the May 12 suicide bombings that killed 34, including eight Americans. "Come on guys, you know we hate to arrest such great leaders, but we have the pig-dog Americans breathing down our necks. Don't worry, as soon as the heat is off, we'll make sure they "escape"." Wink Wink The London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported that the e-mail, sent by unnamed persons close to Osama bin Laden, said the al Qaeda leader promised reprisals if the two were indeed dead. I wonder why Usama isn't speaking in public. Plastic surgery? Rotting corpse? "Sheikh Osama and the leaders of al Qaeda in Afghanistan are closely following reports of the deaths of Sheikh Ali al-Khudeir and Ahmed al-Khaldi," the daily quoted the e-mail as saying.
Islamic Reform... Isn't that an oxymoron? "If it was especially confirmed that Sheikh Ali al-Khudeir was martyred then our response against the al-Saud family ... will be as great as the Sheikh is to us," the e-mail added. The clerics, who are popular among young Saudi Islamists, have urged Saudis not to cooperate with the manhunt for 19 people on a wanted list issued days before the Riyadh blasts. Seems like anyone who holds a Qu'ran and tells young Saudis that Allah will reward them for slaughtering infidels is VERY popular in the land of Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said Wednesday that the two clerics and a third one, Nasser Ahmed al-Fuhaid, were alive and were among suspects detained in connection with the Riyadh attacks.
"So please, please, pretty please with sugar on it, don't kill us, okay? Feel free to dispose of the Americans, however." "Psssst, Ahmed. Here's the floor plan to their swanky new apartment building in downtown Riyadh..." Al-Quds Al-Arabi said Khodeir and Khaledi had gone into hiding in the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, shortly before the U.S.-led war on Iraq and issued edicts against the Saudi leaders for helping U.S. and British military activities. | ||

| #3 "well, your buddies have threatened us, so we officialy commute your sentence from 10 years to death by public impalement." Saudi's would impress everyone by showing big flaming nads right about now. |
