Al-Qaeda warns Saudi Arabia ahead of mass execution
2015-12-02
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The global holy warrior network of al-Qaeda has warned the government of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
of consequences in case the planned mass execution is carried out.

Rooters news agency reports that the group's affiliate in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
known as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...
(AQAP) said it was aware of Saudi intentions to execute its members in Saudi prisons and pledged to carry out attacks in response.

"We swear to God, our blood will be shed before the blood of our captives, and their pure blood will not dry before we shed the blood of the soldiers of Al Saud," according to Rooters, the group said in a statement which was posted on Twitter and dated Tuesday. "We will not enjoy life unless we get the necks of the Al Saud rulers."

Okaz newspapaer which has close links with the Saudi Interior Ministry recently reported that Saudi government is going to execute 55 men convicted of terrorism offences, among those, reportedly some members of al-Qaeda.

The mass beheadings are believed to take place in a single day in several cities across the kingdom, most likely after Friday prayers.

Amnesia Amnesty International, an organization which focuses on human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
has expressed alarm over the report saying that given the spike in executions this year, it has no option but to take the reports very seriously.

According to Amnesia Amnesty International, Saudi Arabia has executed at least 151 people this year while last year a total of 90 people were executed.

#1  IIRC, as per DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS earlier this AM Yemeni Govt. Officios are claiming that Al-Qaeda = Al-NUSRA BOYZ is now in charge of all Anti-Houthi/Shia/Iran Govt-Army forces???

* Also, BHARAT RAKSHAK > [GulfNews] ERDOGAN: TURKEY TO "ESTABLISH MILITARY BASE IN QATAR".

Just another reason among many in Iran's mind for KSA + Turkey rival + OWG Co-Superpower SHIA IRAN to destabilize or attack Base-Too-Far QATAR.
