- The ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United Kingdom
has repeated claims of a link between Zionists and al-Qaeda terror attacks
in Saudi Arabia.
-
- Prince Turki al-Faisal stated in a television interview
"When you're under attack by people who come and kill your countrymen
and visitors to your country, and you see at the same time an attack on
the kingdom from the outside, from Zionist circles, it is natural to make
a connection."
-
- This backs up comments made by the defacto ruler of Saudi
Arabia, Crown Prince Abdullah who made similar claims last month.
-
- "Zionism is behind it," he said. "It has
become clear now. It has become clear to us. It is not 100 per cent, but
95 per cent that Zionist hands are behind what happened."
-
- Prince Turki states that Saudi Arabia has been subjected
to attacks by "experts with Zionist connections" for 50 years,
and particularly since the terror atrocities of September 11, 2001.
-
- "Is it beyond any comprehension or understanding
that such attacks come at us from the Zionists on one side and from al-Qaeda
on the other side and not make connection between them?" he asked.
-
- The ambassador also says that the families of victims
of terror attacks committed in Saudi Arabia, including Westerners, can
still insist on the death penalty for their killers under Islamic sharia
law, despite the offer of a state amnesty to terrorists who surrender in
the next month.
