#1 "When the Crusaders could not enter the area, the only thing they could do was bombard the mujahedeen with warplanes,"

I love the attitude they take towards airstrikes: "Pah! That's all they could do! Just rain 500 lb bombs down on us, hitting within feet of where our murderers were standing! Nothing like our brave mujahideen, who just today killed two dozen women and children at a market!"

#2 The Saudi militant "was participating in the battles of Qaim ... when the Crusader forces tried to descend on the area," the site said. Al-Roshoud and a group of mujahedeen fought back "and killed some of the Crusaders until the enemies of God had to withdraw." "When the Crusaders could not enter the area, the only thing they could do was bombard the mujahedeen with warplanes," it said.

Allah, the all powerful ruler of the universe, having proven singularly incapable of protecting his holy and loyal mujahadeen from falling infidel JDAMs, the shieik realized his dream of being shredded by shrapnel and squished by overpressure.

#3 From DEBKA: Zarqawi says top Saudi terrorist killed in Iraq. He is named on an Islamic Web site as Abdullah al-Rashoud, whom the Iraqi al Qaeda commander Abu Musab al Zarqawi says died in battle with US forces at al Qaim near the Syrian border. This claim could not be authenticated.
On April 8, DEBKA-Net-Weekly 201 reported al-Rashoud had escaped a major Saudi offensive that wiped out the cellâs leadership at al-Rass, 190 miles north of Riyadh, on April 3. Senior ideologue of the cell, al Rashoud was one of two or three leaders who got away. At least 14 Saudi cell members and many security personnel were killed in the three-day battle in which the Saudi cellâs command post was destroyed. Zarqawi now claims al-Rashoud reached Iraq six weeks ago from Saudi Arabia where he was a hunted man.

DEBKAfileâs counter-terror experts add: This is the first such report ever issued personally by Zarqawi. Al-Rashidâs death in al Qaim indicates he escaped from Saudi Arabia to Syria and was then smuggled into Iraq. Zarqawiâs statement is also the first disclosure of an interconnection between the Iraqi and Saudi al Qaeda organizations. Until now, intelligence bodies in Iraq assumed that the two operations were quite separate.
