| Terrorists Will Be Brought to Justice, Says Abdullah |
| 2004-06-13 |
| Crown Prince Abdullah yesterday vowed that terrorists who killed and maimed people and destroyed property in the Kingdom will not escape justice. That's the F4 key on his speechwriter's word processor... Addressing a group of university teachers, students, publishers and tribal chiefs and other representatives from different parts of the Kingdom, the crown prince reaffirmed the Kingdomâs determination to hunt down the criminals and uproot terrorism. "Make no mistake: the perpetrators will be brought to justice..." He said âevil handsâ stood behind individuals who were committing such acts and were working against Islam, according to the Saudi Press Agency. Yadda yadda. It was all original this time last year, maybe... Staff and students of Umm Al-Qura University, led by Rector Dr. Nasser Abdullah Al-Saleh, denounced terrorist acts and pledged their full support for the authorities. âWhat has happened in the Kingdom is more painful because it was the work of our sons who have been seduced by Satan,â the crown prince said. âGod willing I promise you that those individuals will not escape justice with your help and that of all the people of the Kingdom.â The crown prince called on teachers and students to come forward and publicly speak out against these criminal acts. âAs teachers and students you have a great duty to educate and enlighten people. All of you must work to guide your brothers, whether at home or anywhere else, and lead them to the right path,â he said. Those who remained silent were acting as accomplices âand that must never happen,â he told the audience. |

| #1 Terrorists Will Be Brought to Justice, Says Abdullah If they are serious about convincing anyone, they can start by prosecuting Prince Turki al-Faisal. Turki's link to one of al-Qaeda's top money- launderers, Mohammed Zouaydi, who lived in Saudi Arabia from 1996 to 2001, is also exposed. Zouaydi acted as the accountant for the Faisal branch of the Saudi royal family that includes Turki. Zouaydi, who is now in jail in Spain, is also accused of being al-Qaeda's top European financier. He distributed more than $1 million to al- Qaeda units, including the Hamburg cell of Mohammed Atta which plotted the World Trade Centre attack. Finally the lawsuit alleges that Turki was 'instrumental' in setting up a meeting between bin Laden and senior Iraqi intelligence agent Faruq al-Hijazi in December 1998. At that meeting it is alleged that bin Laden agreed to avenge recent American bombings of Iraqi targets and in return Iraq offered him a safe haven and gave him blank Yemeni passports. |
