| [Asharq al-Aswat] In the audio recording by Sheikh Ibrahim al Rubaish, a wanted Saudi member of Al Qaeda thought to be in Yemen, in which he commented on the failed assassination attempt on Prince Mohammed Bin Naif, al Rubaish spoke highly of the operation, and explained the motives behind it and attacked the Assistant Minister of Interior for Security Affairs and the head of the war on terrorism, Prince Mohammed Bin Naif. What was most significant and new about his speech was his reference to those who condemned the attack such as Saudi preachers and religious figures and journalists, accusing them of lying and corrupting "jihad". He concluded his speech by saying that those who managed to reach Prince Mohammed, the head of the war on terrorism, are capable of reaching whoever criticizes "Al Qaeda" so they should take heed. The speech was an explicit threat to frighten whoever dares criticize the organisation. There is no need to further comment on the image of journalists and authors who are devils in the eyes of most fundamentalists and are often considered agents of the West or of their own ruling regimes rather than people with their own opinions or supporters of freedom. They are considered tools against virtue and against the people of the truth -- i.e. the fundamentalist currents of course. |
