Saudi Arabia warned Muslim militants they would share the fate of their slain leader unless they repented, as al Qaeda vowed renewed "holy war" in the kingdom. Saudi analysts who have contacts with militants said on Sunday they expected al Qaeda to name Saleh al-Awfi, a former Interior Ministry employee, as Muqrin’s successor.
| A "former" interior ministry employee, eh? |
"We tell this deviant group and others that if they do not return to the right path, they will meet the same fate or worse," Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah said late on Saturday. "Security forces will deal with them, God willing, and with every aggressor inside or abroad," he added.
| Better have a long talk with Prince Nayef about that... |
"The government is strong and will eradicate the enemy and cleanse the country of them," Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said. "God willing, we will be victorious." Saudi foreign policy adviser Adel al-Jubeir said Riyadh would pursue Islamic extremists without mercy.
| Without any particular skill, without any particular determination, but without mercy... |
"We believe that with this blow to al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia yesterday, we have substantially weakened their organization. We will continue to pursue them with vigor until we eliminate them from our midst," Jubeir said. "We will show no mercy."
| "All we gotta do is catch 'em, you betcha!" |
He said reports on Friday that Johnson’s body had been found were incorrect. Saudi security forces were still searching for the corpse, believed to be in the Riyadh area.
| Makes me wonder: the initial reports said the Bad Guys were caught as they were disposing of the body. Turns out it wasn't the body. Wonder whose body it was? |
