The Arab extension of Fatah al-Islam
When the battle between the Lebanese army and the Fatah al-Islam militant group broke out on the 20th of May, pro-February 14 (supporters of Siniora and his Imperial bosses – VS) media outlets sought to exploit the incident and link the militant group to Syria, overlooking the diversity in the nationalities of its members.
Sultan Abul Aynain, the secretary of PLO factions said in an interview with the Sharq al-Awsat daily that the number of Saudis killed with Fatah al-Islam had reached 23, adding that they were all buried in mass graves inside the Nahr el-Bared Palestinian refugee camp, north of Lebanon. Abul Aynain also said that 20 other Saudis were still fighting against the Lebanese army in the camp. The PLO official’s information crossed with what the Saudi daily Al-Hayat published about Saudi members of Fatah al-Islam, even if their numbers did not match the number given by Abul Aynain. Furthermore, burial ceremonies, during the last week of June, for dozens of people in the camp were delayed upon requests by Saudi Arabia and Tunis to retrieve their dead nationals. In a televised interview, the Minister of Defense in the unconstitutional government Elias el-Murr confirmed that Fatah al-Islam organization is linked to Al-Qaeda. El-Murr had earlier said that Fatah al-Islam was responsible for the Ain Alak bombing in Mount Lebanon, which killed 3 people and injured many others. He added that the group that carried out the attack comprised four Syrians and three Saudis, including Abdullah Bishi, the man whose repatriation was requested by Saudi Arabia.
The Lebanese government agreed to repatriate Bishi, however the approval of Lebanese President Emile Lahoud is still needed. Saudi Interior Minister Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz also called on the Lebanese government to repatriate Saudis still in Lebanese custody, among them is Fahed Meghames, the head of the Barr Elias cell, where three booby trapped cars and arms caches were found.
Moreover, three Saudis were among five gunmen killed in clashes with the Lebanese army in the town of Kalamoun, north of Lebanon last week. The two others were a Lebanese and an Iraqi.
Before the battle of Nahr el-Bared broke out, Syrian authorities killed on the 10th of last May four Fatah al-Islam gunmen on their way to Iraq, indicating that Lebanon was being used as a springboard for militants to the outside on the one hand and a resting place for the returning militants. Prior to this, the US Council of National Intelligence warned in February 2006 against the return of those militants saying they would become the new Arab Afghans in Lebanon. Accordingly, Fatah al-Islam is an organization that comprises members from various Arab nationalities, not to mention Bengali and Chechen members.
However the February 14 ruling bloc still insists on linking this organization to Syrian intelligence services, without proof or convincing facts. According to the Lebanon News Agency, eight Saudi cadres in Fatah al-Islam have been taken out of Lebanon; one of them is a financier who has close ties with Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, the head of the Saudi National Security Council.
The Saudi Prince Bandar should be Behind bars , as well as many in that evil Family . they have been behind many shady dirty Operations .
Bandar recruited Jihadists to fight the soviets , to help curb Communism , the CIA helped too. those jihadists were told You have to fight any foreigner on Islam Land (afghanistan) thousands joined , Russia got kicked out . that was the creation of AL Qaeeda
But al Qaeeda was like a robot monster that is difficult to control and takes over . it turned against Foreigners on saudi Soil too (no , those are friends say the saudis )
Bandar Has financed Jundallah Too in Pakistan , they cause terrorism in Iran CIA is ok with that

Mujaheedeen Khalq is also a terror group and Iraq wants them OUT of Iraq , (they are iranian opposition) they are on the Terrorist list . guess who looks after them and arm them and protect them . Yes , the US government .
Bandar has been Recruiting and financing and arming Fatah AL Islam , what annoys me these criminals use the word Islam to name themselves . why recruit them ? to fight Hezbollah. the Hariri Family is also involved . they were paying their monthly cheque via their bank .
Fatah Al Islam turned against their creators and have been fighting the lebanese army for weeks now , most are saudis , algerian moroccan , usually illettrate , fanatics, losers, screwed up in the head rejects who are easily brainwashed .
Did Bandar S wife Haifa financing some of the 9/11 Highjackers ? i have my doubts she is , even if the Commission tried to make her not guilty

This bandar criminal is not only evil but he is causing trouble for aLL muslims and to Islam . he is working hand in hand with the CIA and helping them in their evil projects . one day my grand children will read about it in the Declassified documents (i dont have grandchildren yet but in a few years i may )
4 saudis gave themselves up to the lebanese forces in the first week of the siege , and they are getting them out of the country discreetly without offending the saudis (saudia has reconstructed Lebanon after israel destroyed it )
many saudis have been caught in Iraq , but the western Media does not talk about it . A saudi with a suicide belt was shown on Iraqi tv last night . nothing on the western media , because saudis are to be protected .
The Saudi Prince Bandar should be Behind bars , as well as many in that evil Family . they have been behind many shady dirty Operations
Indeed. Ever since the CIA gave guns to the Afghans and Saudi Arabia gave them money these two where working hand in hand with each other in many other wars.
When will the Americans finally realize that the real danger comes from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and NOT from Iran or Syria?!

I know Iran and syria are still backward , have tons of reforms to do and things to improve but lets compare Iran syria and saudi Arabia shall we ?
Iran Has 20.000 Jews still living in Iran and practising their religion and represented in Parliament (via Maurice Motamed)
they Have also the Bahai , the Christians and the zorostrians who have hundreds of temples
iranian women travel without a man if they wish , work , own business , are part of the parliament , can vote, can be reporters and film makers too . can play sports
have you ever seen Iranian women play POLO ? or Football ? they do it all .(google image ) even with a scarf over their hair . they can also drive
same in Syria where 15% of the people are christians (they welcomed the fleeing christians from iraq )
Syria has many women who are professionals , doctors engineers , girls and boys do mix and study together and work together , and women can wear western clothes if they wish to ,entirely up to them. more prefer western clothes . (within reason )
syria has 3 Ministers as Ministers
Najwa Qassab Hasan , Ghada Ajabi, Buthaina Shaaban . they can also drive , they play sports without a scarf and often travel to algeria for Matches too .
Can you apply any of that to Saudi arabia ? NO you cant , nothing applies . so which women need Liberating ???
you are totally correct about Iran and about women there. TIN fact the Iranians used to be outraged at what the Taliban crazies did to women in Afghanistan, but nobody ever listen to the Iranians. Not only that, but notice that the Iranians are among the few Muslim countries out there who do not support the Chechen Wahabis either. They also have a vibrant political life, meaningful elections, a record of human rights which is less appalling that, say, Turkey’s or Saudi Arabia’s, they have never attacked any of their neighbors, they treat their minorites way better than any of their neighbors and Judaism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism are protected by their Constitution.
But hey – if the Empire says that Iran is the “mother” of the “axis of evil” then it must be so, right?!
Well put fatima.
The biggest crooks in the Arab world are no doubt the Royal family of Saudi Arabia and in the Middle East (after the terrorist state of Israel) the puppet regime in Egypt.
But the resistance in Egypt is growing, and it is not necessarily taking a sectarian road unlike the AQ types in Saudi Arabia.

it is true , things are moving in egypt , people have never ever been so poor . many say they were a lot better off 20 years ago , when people had decent salaries that enabled them to pay bills and have luxuries, and there was less unemployment and the services were excellent too. Mubarak promised them a lot when he made peace with Israel, he said that would benefit the citizens , there would be more business with israel , and with america , etc… but the money has created more Mansions for the elite , and more slums and more poverty. Small business are losing their shops and little corners , snack shops are being chased to make room for Macdonalds and KFC etc.. when the volcano will errupt it would blow on the fat cats faces .
