| [Quqnoos] Al Qaeda released a video on Sunday showing the Jordanian bomber who killed seven CIA employees in eastern Afghanistan. The video shows Humam Khalil Abu Mulal Al Balawi, a Jordanian national, inside a vehicle, speaking to the camera and seemingly addressing the CIA. "Inshallah we will beat you down. Don't think just because you are killing Mujahedeen, you are safe. Inshallah, death will come to you for unexpected way," Al Balawi said. The camera then zooms in to show the watch on Al Balawi's wrist. "This is for you. It's not a watch, it's a detonator, to kill as much as I can." "Inshallah... to kill you, to kill your partner, Jordanian partner, and Inshallah I go to paradise, and you will be sent to the hell," Al Balawi added. The Jordanian citizen blew himself up on Dec 30 inside Forward Operating Base Chapman, a fortified US compound in the eastern Afghan province of Khost, killing seven CIA employees and a Jordanian officer. In January, another video was released showing Al Balawi with Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, who was later killed in a US drone attack in Waziristan. In that video Al Balawi says that the United States and its Arab ally Jordan had offered him millions of dollars to spy on militant groups, but he preferred the other way around. |
