- Osama Ben Laden: prominent figure of international terrorism
The new message of the leader of Al-Qaeda, the customer of the attacks on September 11, is recorded on an audio switch transferred to the Islamist website. CIA anti -terrorism experts "with complete confidence" recognized the recording of authentic. They stated that the voice on the film indicates that Osama Ben Laden is still alive, the FrenchLe Figaro writes.
"Allah blesses our brothers who stormed the American consulate in Jidd , we ask Allah to accept them as martyrs," Ben Laden said.
This attack, which took place on December 6, the Al-Qaeda cells in the Wahhabis kingdom demonstrate what they managed to resist even after the arrest of their leaders by the Saudi intelligence services, and Ben Laden relies on these groups in order to raise a new wave of terror. He calls the enemy a royal family, "which has committed grave sins, unfair to the people, violates the rights and humiliates the pride of Muslims," because "is removing the wealth of the country, while millions of people suffer from poverty and deprivation."
Speaking about "wealth", Osama Ben Laden means large oil fields of the leading oil country in the world, telling the militants that it should be struck by oil wells.
“Attack oil facilities,” says a confident voice, “because the Americans seize oil, and oil prices have increased repeatedly. Two decades ago, the price increased to $ 40, in the last decade - it fell to $ 9, but now it should rise to $ 100 per barrel.”
The call to strike at wells, marine platforms and oil refineries is very categorical and also refers to Iraq: "Do everything to prevent the Americans from taking possession of oil, concentrate on operations in Iraq and in the bay, prevent theft of centuries."
This is not the first time Ben Laden threatens oil objects, but the link to the terrorist attack in Jidd suggests that al-Qaeda is confident in the military and organizational abilities of his Saudi cells.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell treats these threats seriously: "The voice, apparently, is really Ben Laden - a terrorist and a killer. We continue to hunt him to betray it to the court." Fearing new terrorist attacks, in US representative offices in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, a security measures have been announced.
The message of the Osama coincides with the distribution of terrorist proceedings against the US Consulate and an increase in tension, noted yesterday in Gidd and Er-Riyada, in connection with the declared mobilization of the fundamentalists who are hostile to the monarchy.
Saad al-Fajih, the leader of the Islamic movement for reforms in Saudi Arabia, who has been living in London for many years, calls on the population to go out in the square. On Thursday, through TV, radio and the Internet, al-Fajikha's calls were transferred to the inhabitants of Gidda and Riyadh to go out and overthrow the royal family, which "is responsible for poverty, unemployment, crimes, prison, torture and social chaos."
Oppositionists confidently stated that they could bring “tens of thousands of people” to the street, but the powerful apparatus of security forces and police managed to prevent all types of speeches. But in some smaller centers, such as taboux and hail, there were protests in government buildings, while there were practically no clashes. Police authorities spoke about a dozen arrests in Jidd and Riyadh, and admitted that in some cases, in some cases, it was not without shooting.
