Saudi Terrorists in Iraq
By Ali Alyami
Many Saudi men and women have spoken out against Saudi extremists and suicide bombers since the vicious attacks on 9/11, planned and executed primarily by Saudi nationals. Since those attacks, Saudi Arabia has become synonymous with the source of such extremism and terrorism. It was not until the attacks on foreign compounds inside Saudi Arabia (2003), in which scores of people were killed and injured, that the Saudi government admitted the culpability of their educational and religious institutions in creating a frustrated and disgruntled generation. Some of these people become ticking time bombs and ripe recruits for terror organizations.
As the attached article illustrates, it is no wonder that Saudis now start breathing harder at news of suicide bombers, expecting that their countrymen are probably involved. It was recently revealed by an American co mmander in Iraq that the majority of prisoners suspected of terrorism in Iraq are Saudis. It has also been reported that Syria has also imprisoned many Saudi nationals, and that still other Saudis were killed and injured in the ongoing strife in Lebanon. Wherever there are either suicide bombers or plots for death and destruction, Saudis come to mind first.
The solution for eradicating the root causes of suicide bombers and their indoctrinators is in the hands of the Saudi royal family. The ruling elites can start by abolishing the institutions that perpetuate religious incitements, such as shutting off Imam Mohammed ibn Saud University in Riyadh, Um al-Gora in Mecca and abolishing the government-sponsored terrorist agency, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
