Saudi officer under investigation for sending jihadis to Afghanistan
2009-01-29
The Military and Security Intelligence wing of the KuwaitÂ’s Ministry of Defense has referred a Saudi non-commissioned officer to the State Security police for sending 20 young Kuwaitis and Saudis to fight a holy war in Afghanistan, reports Al-Rai daily, quoting security sources. The same sources said the accused was holding seminars and lectures on fighting a holy war inside his home in Sulaibiya, which was being reportedly attended by a number of Islamists. The man had reportedly succeeded recruiting 20 young Saudis and Kuwaitis from the district.

The sources added the 20 youths are now in Afghanistan and some of them are fighting the so-called foreign troops. According to some reports some of them have either died in battle or have been arrested. The daily also said there is information available about the rest of the group members.
The sources revealed the suspect was active in recruiting youth to fight jihad over a period of time.

It has also been reported one of his sons was killed in action in Afghanistan while the other was arrested by Saudi security authorities for collecting money to fund jihad activities. His third son also is in Afghanistan but no information is available about his fate. The sources added an Islamist MP reportedly intervened without success to seek the manÂ’s release.

#11  Yes, we agree, MarkZ. But the problem is our country is being run by those who disagree...for whatever reasons I cannot fathom...maybe has something to do with oil. But then, with Obama, he seems quite sympathetic to them just because they are, like, his kin.

#10  Raise your hands:

Does anyone here believe it is in the short/long term interest of the USA to continue to permit muslim immigration into the USA?

I do not.

There may be others who disagree with me. No shocker. I ask only that you have the courage to tell me I'm wrong in my belief.

#9  beavis and besoeker, yall know i'm from franklin up here too the northeast of ATL and we have our very own little sect of jihadist on a compound up here that even the local deputies are scared too go into. you can hear gunfire at thenir practice range very frequently . I went to school with one young boy at the grade school level and now that i think back on it he was taught too hate even at that age. didn't have any friends that weren't muslim(and this was like 88) then hit a teacher in the ha=ead with a rock and we never seen him again.So it looks like our state is getting ran over with them too. You can even see the women come into local supermarkets with their burkas on which is kinda unusual in rural GA

#3  I'm shocked that there is violent jihadism ongoing in the Islamic Apartheid Republic. Where's Jimmy Carter when you really need his muscle?

#2  Afghan president Karzai ought to announce that all foreigners found in Afghanistan without the proper visas on their person, or in any way connected with the invasion of foreigners who fancy themselves fighting jihad, will be thoroughly questioned, then hanged as traitors to the Ummah -- not shot as jihadis -- without trial. Then give a list, by country only -- no names -- of how many have already met that fate at the hand of the country of Afghanistan. The most impressive way to accomplish this would be to call in all the foreign ambassadors, plus reporters from the BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, Afghan radio and television stations, and the major newspapers and television producers of the Muslim and Western worlds, thus making the statement in such a way that none can later claimed they were not thoroughly warned. Give tapes and videos of the announcement to each set of village elders Afghan and allied army units pass through, so the locals know the gauntlet has been thrown down. An intra-village competition for number of certifiably foreign jihadis killed, announced, say, monthly, would be fun, and tie in nicely with the local culture. Non-headless bodies with identification papers would be necessary to substantiate a claim, of course, similar to the Red Chinese requirement that the peasants turn in X dead flies and mosquitoes per unit time when they were on a disease-reduction tear. Otherwise the system would be overwhelmed with a combination of imaginary kills and the bodies of unwanted cousins.
