#1 It another article, this group was named as Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah. There is an organisation in Australia of the same name, lead by a man named Sheikh Omran, who is a self-confessed friend of Abu Qatada.
So from this I gather that they belong to the neo-fundamentalist or Tawhid stream within Islam. So they might be opposed to the Saudi government, as it isn't Islamic enough for them, but of course it is probably some Saudis sending them money.

#2 "The attacks were launched New Yearâs Eve by the movement Al Sunna wal Jamma, an Arabic name meaning "Followers of Mohammedâs Teachings."

Made up mainly of Nigerian students at polytechnic schools and high schools, the sect attacked government installations in several Yobe state towns - looting police stations of arms and ammunition, and setting the buildings afire."

----

"Followers of Mohammed's Teachings" = murderers, terrorists, and killers.

Even though the truth stares people in the face, Islam is still called the Religion of Peaceâ¢ by our leadership.

One can only hope that the Islam-stroking is used as window dressing only, and that behind the scenes the truth is known and understood.
