Saudi ambassador links latest London attacks to Al-Qaeda

Saudi Arabia's ambassador to London Friday linked the latest wave of attacks in London to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda extremist network, even if the British authorities have yet to do so.

"The modus operandi, the sheer cowardice associated with them and the attacks on innocent civilians -- these are all part and parcel of Al-Qaeda," Prince Turki al-Faisal told BBC radio.

Turki, a former head of Saudi foreign intelligence, and soon to be Riyadh's ambassador to Washington, was speaking after yesterday's apparent attempt to repeat the July 7 suicide bombings that killed 56 people and injured some 700.

He said it was a "true criticism" of London that it was too easy for Islamist extremists to stay and preach messages of hate without fear of arrest or deportation.

1. He should know. Saudi Intel is Al Qaeda's paymaster.

Remember the Chicago FBI whistleblowers?

They were tracking the connections before 9-11.

BushCo put the ziggy on them.

Article: The Scoop Editor

Yesterday, Thursday US EST, Friday NZT, a press conference was held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. by US based NGO Judicial Watch with FBI agent Robert Wright. Prior to the Press Conference Wright was threatened with criminal prosecution if he shared his views with the public.
According to its website ( http://www.judicialwatch.org./ ): �Judicial Watch, Inc. was established in 1994 to serve as an ethical and legal "watchdog" over the US government, legal, and judicial systems to promote a return to ethics and morality in our nation's public life.

As a non-partisan, non-profit foundation based in Washington, D.C., and with offices throughout the country, Judicial Watch relies on supporters, like yourself, to help us root out corruption in our government and to make sure offenders are brought to justice. �

Robert Wright, an agent for 10 years, was a member of an FBI counter- terrorism taskforce. He alleges that active agents were threatened and impeded in anti-terrorism investigations.
