| Soddy al-Qaeda say to hit Kingdom's oil assets |
| 2004-12-19 |
| Isn't this a little like killing the goose that lays the golden egg? An Internet statement purportedly from the Saudi wing of al Qaeda has urged guerrillas to attack oil facilities in the world's biggest crude exporter. "We call on all the mujahideen in the Arabian Peninsula to unify their ranks... and target the oil supplies that do not serve the Islamic nation but the enemies of this nation," said the statement from the Al Qaeda Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula, which was dated December 18. Its authenticity could not be immediately verified. The statement also urged militants to strike at "all foreign targets, until the Arabian Pensinsula is free of these infidels and the tyrants". |

| #1 "Isn’t this a little like killing the goose that lays the golden egg?" They're still trying to sort out that trivial "cause=>effect" thingy. I wonder, when was the last time anyone read a headline like: "Red Brigades Ally with Al Aqsa, Build Dam" "Al Qaeda Demands Right To Fix ruptured Pipelines" "Zarqawi: Mosul Citizens Urged To Vote" "EU Bureaucracy Rebels Against Unelected Status, Disbands" |
