Kuwaiti confesses to involvement with new terror organization
2009-02-28
A Kuwaiti man, identified only as NM, who is being held by the State Security police is said to have confessed about the formation of a new terrorist organization called ‘New Jihad Group’ to which he is affiliated, reports Al-Shahid daily. The daily quoting highly reliable security sources said the man has given the names of five Kuwaitis, two Bedouins, one citizen from an unidentified GCC state and an Iraqi, who he said, are the founder members of group which was formed three years ago.

NM disclosed during interrogation that the organization is reportedly headed by a well-known Saudi religious figure. He also disclosed members of the organization use computers and modern state-of-the-art communication equipment to ensure their calls and contacts are not tapped and to prevent their movements from being detected. Initial interrogations with the accused revealed the organization is considered as the right wing for al-Qaeda and that its duty is to prepare and recruit Gulf and Arab youths to promote sectarianism in various countries around the world.

He also said the new Jihad group last year sent 21 Bedouin youths to Afghanistan to take part in the so-called jihad operations against the occupying foreign forces — a term normally referred to Western fighters. The group has also reportedly succeeded in getting fake passports to these youths to enable them to reach their destination.

The State Security is now trying to establish a link between members of this group and 85 people wanted by law around in many countries in the region for their involvement in terrorist operations. During interrogation the names of group members given by N.M. are Obaid Mubarak, Abdullah Mustafa, Saleh Suleiman, Khalid Ibrahim, Hassan Al-Shaan, Ahmed Al-Farhoud, Osama Al-Shahri, and Waleed Ali who are reportedly using forged passports to move between states.

#3  In a sense I understand, my names, first and last, come from the bible, but since we're a Christian nation, nobody notices.

#2  the names of group members given by N.M. are

None of them named Mohammed. That explains their joining jihad - lack of self-esteem from not having that name which most Muslims have. I mean, what are the odds of 8 middle eastern Muslims without a single one of them having some variant of Mohammed in their name?
