New tapes on al-Qaeda-linked website | |||
2003-12-05 | |||
A little more on the revelation that al-Qaeda was training in Soddy ... THE MENACING new al-Qaida video obtained by NBC News features a new look â a terror cell that claims to be training inside Saudi Arabia mugs for the camera with most faces blurred to conceal identities. Hmm, that implies that the level of technical professionalism in their IT department has risen somewhat over the last two years ... Their attire and weapons look like a professional assault team and they appear to be practicing an entry drill consistent with tactics used in bombings this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where small teams of shooters breach security to get car bombs in place. Amazing that they can do all of this in secret but that Shiâites or Christians canât even organize a prayer group without the religious police at their doorstep, isnât it? Itâs apparently the latest propaganda piece from al-Qaida, with dire warnings for the West and the Saudi royal family.
Interesting ... But that raises the question â how did a tape that was not widely circulated end up on a known al-Qaida site? | |||

#6 Would have been beter if the Al Quaida guys had been wearing Groucho Marx masks. (cf Woody Allen's movie "Take the money and run") |

#5 Maybe they finally managed to learn the basics of Premiere..... Yeah, there are dozens of how-tos for blurring faces in every video package out there. |

#4 Where's Benny and Omar? And what about the 'Mother of all Attacks' which Al-Q has promised? Damn! Security must have been compromised, and they learned about the 400 bombers the United States had sitting ready, armed with large nuclear weapons, designed to turn most of Saudi Arabia into an even larger, even emptier Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter, for the geographically challenged). Hard to get funds from glass... especially radioactive glass. |
