Peregrino:
Here is what I have gathered:
Saudis officials may have supported the kidnapping of Paul Johnson. Possible.
Paul Johnson may have been killed. Very probable.
The Saudi security forces engaged and killed some group. Probable.
The dead may have included Abdulaziz al-Moqrin. Probable.
Abdulaziz al-Moqrin was responsible for the alleged killing of Johnson. Possible.
Osama Bin Ladin may have ratted out Abdulaziz al-Moqrin due to internal disputes. Unlikely, but possible.
The Saudi populace really does not mind the killings, as long as they are not Saudis or Moslems being killed. Probable.
Al Queda has significant support (public opinion, material, personnel, financial, media) within Saudi Arabia and the region. Definitely.
Saudis rulers are feeling heat from all sides now and will say whatever is convenient to maintain their positions. Definitely.
At least the royal family haven't publicly blamed this one on the Zionists, like they did the 9/11 attacks, the Khobar attacks, and every other piece of misfortune in the last 20 years.
Hey, is it just me, or is Saudi adviser/spokesman Adel al-Jubeir starting to act and sound like Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf? "Who do you belief? Me, or your lying infidel eyes?"
