    LA TIMES: Saudis' role in Iraq insurgency outlined



    Saudis' role in Iraq insurgency outlined
    Sunni extremists from Saudi Arabia make up half the foreign fighters in Iraq, many suicide bombers, a U.S. official says.

    By Ned Parker, Times Staff Writer
    July 15, 2007


    AGHDAD — Although Bush administration officials have frequently lashed out at Syria and Iran, accusing it of helping insurgents and militias here, the largest number of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from a third neighbor, Saudi Arabia, according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers.

    About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures made available to The Times by the senior officer. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis, he said.

            ..."The Saudi government does not dispute that some of its youths are ending up as suicide bombers in Iraq, but says it has done everything it can to stop the bloodshed.

            'Saudis are actually being misused. Someone is helping them come to Iraq. Someone is helping them inside Iraq. Someone is recruiting them to be suicide bombers. We have no idea who these people are. We aren't getting any formal information from the Iraqi government,' said Gen. Mansour Turki, spokesman for the Saudi Interior Ministry."

                  Well it's a "win win" situation for the House of Saud...

                  They get rid of their radical underbelly and get a free pass from America as oil prices soar...

                  What's interesting is the Shia gov't we support is very close to an enemy, the Iranians, and our enemies in Iraq are close to our "friends," the Saudis...

                      That picture of Chimp kissing his Saudi boyfriend was printed in major newspapers/media websites all over the world. It's real.
