Al-Jubeir Defends Sending Money to Families of Suicide Bombers
2003-06-12
Adel al-Jubeir, an advisor to Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, defended his country's policy of giving money to families of suicide bombers. "We give money to families in need... Are some of those families, families who have had a suicide bomber? Yes. But do we give the money because their son or daughter was a suicide bomber? No. Is that money an incentive for them to commit acts of terrorism? No." Al-Jubeir condemned terrorism, but refused to condemn the terrorist organization Hamas.
Guess it all depends on your definition of terrorism, doesn't it?

#3  Do you pay them for blowing your own citizens up? I seem to remember that happening recently. Or was that alk runners?
Yeah, things have really changed over there.

#2  Atom Ant is a lying sack. Why he's not shaken and stirred every time he does an interview is amazing.
