Arabia
Al-Faqih sez al-Oufi may be dead
2005-04-06
A message posted on a jihadist message board, al-Islah, a website for The Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia (MIRA), headed by Saudi dissident and designated terrorist entity Dr. Saad al-Fagih, speculated that Saleh al-Oufi, emir (prince) of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, could be amongst those dead in battles that concluded today between security forces and militants on the Saudi Arabian peninsula.

Corroborating with the Ministry of Interior statement of fourteen mujahideen dead, four injured, and one surrendered, the message states that "there are some indications that one of the people killed could be Saleh al-Oufi." The presence of a dead body with an amputated leg in a wheelchair led to speculation that the body was indeed that of al-Oufi, however, "the body was completely burnt and it was impossible to be sure until after the DNA test that had taken place by the authorities."

#1  body was completely burnt

Did Soddy security overdo 'pressure' during investigation? I envision them running in circle and instead of "Allahu Ackbar" intoning "Burn baby, burn!", perhaps trying to convey what is to be expected on the other side.
