The three emissaries, all Saudi nationals, traveled via Syria and Egypt and met Mokhtar Belmokhtar, a regional leader of Algeria's Islamic rebel Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. What a surprise, Saudi nationals belonging to al-Qaeda The daily L'Expression, quoting reliable sources, did not say what the content of Bin Laden's reported message was.
