| (I have reprinted the most alarming portions of this news item:) Profile: Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin, al-Qaeda’s reputed leader in Saudi Arabia reported killed on Saturday, was a veteran of conflicts around the world. Muqrin also fought in Algeria, Bosnia, and the Horn of Africa. He was captured in Ethiopia in the late 1990s while fighting alongside Somali separatists and extradited to Saudi Arabia where he was sentenced to four years in prison. But this was cut in half as a reward for memorising the Koran. Did someone say ENEMY? (The real hard-core slaughter begins AFTER this pig is ’pardoned’.!!) Muqrin is believed to have been the mastermind behind a suicide bombing at a housing compound in Riyadh in November last year, which killed 17 people. His fighters have also been blamed for a series of increasingly bloody attacks in Saudi Arabia, including a siege in Khobar last month that left 22 people dead. Muqrin’s group, calling itself the "al-Qaeda Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula" posted a video on an Islamist website last Tuesday, threatening to kill American Paul Johnson if al-Qaeda prisoners were not released from Saudi jails. Three days later, the same group posted another video, showing that their threat had been carried out. Mr Johnson was the third American killed in Riyadh in the past 10 days.
