Me refería que las relaciones de Arabia Saudi con al Qaeda son...digamos algo ciclotímicas. Si se meten en algo que afecta directamente la estabilidad de la satrapía, el alfanje corta gaznates en cierta plaza conocida como "chop-chop square"; si se meten con occidentales o terceros...bueno, siempre habrá mano izquierda. Por no hablar del papel saudí en la financiación de al Qaeda (recordemos la censura del informe de la comisión del 11S en lo referente al reino saudí y su implicación en el 11S).

Bin Laden said that Europe should leave
Afghanistan and not do the US' bidding
Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, has called on Europeans to stop their political leaders helping the US in the Afghan war.
"It would be better for you if you [restrained] your politicians who flock to the White House and worked actively to end the wrong done to the oppressed," he said in an audio tape aired on Thursday.
"You [Europeans] become followers to America and that is why no US soldier has been put on trial before European courts," he said.
He continued: "I remind you that the American tide is receding ... and that US troops will go home beyond the Atlantic to leave neighbours to settle their problems.
"Involved in this war, you did not abide by ethics of war as most of the war victims were women, children and civilians."
Europe 'follows' US
"I am responsible" for the attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001," bin Laden continued.
The US had "insisted on invading" Afghanistan even though it knew Afghanistan was not behind the attacks, and added that "Europe walked behind it," he said.
A Nato force composed of troops from the US and Europe has operated in Afghanistan since a US-led military invasion in 2001.
Nazanine Moshiri, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Afghanistan, said the country's government rejected bin Laden's statement.
"The Afghan government's response to this is that Osama bin Laden has no right to tell a sovereign country like Afghanistan what it should do or what its people should do," she said.
"The national security adviser spokesperson told me that the Afghan people chose to have the international community here.
"The government says it is al-Qaeda terrorists and the Taliban that are killing civilians and troops... the government's comments will please Nato."
Nato criticised
However, Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai, a former Afghan prime minister, told Al Jazeera that he agreed with bin Laden's assertion that Western nations should leave the country.
"There is no progress towards the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Afghanistan. Instead [Nato is] killing our civilians and the situation is deteriorating.
"The presence of the Nato forces is no longer in the interests of the Afghan people."
Ahmadzai said the Afghan government should enter talks with the Taliban and other opposition groups rather than rely on Nato assistance.
"It looks like the opposition is getting stronger and stronger and the government and Nato forces are getting weak," he said.

Encuentro digital con al Zawahiri 
Al Qaeda invita a la prensa a entrevistar a Al Zawahiri
Los periodistas podrán entrevistar al número dos de la organización terrorista a través de Internet entre el 16 de diciembre y el 16 de enero.
EFE - El Cairo - 19/12/2007
La organización terrorista Al Qaeda ha invitado a los medios de comunicación a que entrevisten al "número dos" del grupo, Ayman Al Zawahiri, a través de Internet, según un comunicado de la productora del grupo Al Sahab, que se encuentra en una página web usada frecuentemente por el grupo.
El mensaje aparece con una foto de Al Zawahiri, e invita a los periodistas a que manden sus preguntas del 16 de diciembre al 16 de enero –el plazo ya estaría abierto- a través de cuatro páginas web islamistas a las que cita por sus nombres: Al Ekhlas, Al Hasba, Al Baraq y Al Firdos.
Según el comunicado, cuya autenticidad no ha podido ser verificada, Al Sahab organizará un "encuentro virtual abierto con el jeque Ayman al Zawahri, en el que responderá a las preguntas tanto de personas como de organizaciones y de todos los medios de comunicación".
El texto, el primero de este tipo del grupo islamista, pide, además, que las preguntas sean precisas y que los medios que se apunten, se identifiquen. Además, agrega que Al Sahab procurará publicar las respuestas de Al Zawahiri a esas preguntas lo antes posible.
Esta nota sale a la luz dos días después de que se difundiera un vídeo de hora y media con una entrevista del número dos de Al Qaeda en el que calificaba el traspaso del control de la provincia de Basora, en el sur de Irak, de manos británicas a iraquíes como un triunfo de su organización.
Tres días antes, Al Zawahiri condenó en otra grabación la conferencia de Annapolis (EEUU) sobre Oriente Medio e insistió en que su organización no renunciará a recuperar Al Andalus (España).

Report: Osama bin Laden’s security coordinator captured in Pakistan
By Bill RoggioJanuary 6, 2008 11:15 PM

A senior al Qaeda commander has been reported to have been captured in the Pakistani city of Lahore, according to a Pakistani newspaper. Dr. Amin al Haq, the security coordinator of Osama bin Laden’s Black Guard, “was apprehended from Lahore couple of days back,” The Nation reported, citing “credible Afghan sources.” Al Haq is said to be “under interrogation” at an undisclosed location.
The report of al Haq’s capture has not been confirmed, a senior intelligence official told The Long War Journal. US intelligence agencies are aware of the report.
Al Haq has a long pedigree with both the Taliban and al Qaeda. He was born in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, was educated as a physician, and practiced medicine in Pakistan. “He was associated with Hizb-e-Islami Afghanistan headed by late Maulvi Younas Khalis, which joined the Taliban Movement in 1996,” The Nation reported. He “was also part of the Afghan delegation flown to Sudan in 1996 to bring Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan.”
On Dec. 19, 2000, al Haq was identified as a senior member of al Qaeda per United Nations resolution 1267. He accompanied Osama bin Laden during the 2001 battle at Tora Bora in Nangarhar province, and helped senior al Qaeda leaders escape the US and Afghan militia assault on the cave complex. During renewed fighting at Tora Bora in the summer of 2007, al Haq was reported to have been wounded and fled across the border into Pakistan's Kurram tribal agency.
As security coordinator for the Black Guard, it is believed al Haq would be in close proximity to Osama bin Laden. US intelligence believes Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan’s tribal agencies, a claim the Pakistani government has denied. Many of the senior al Qaeda leader captured in Pakistan since Sept. 11, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Musab al Suri, have been detained in Pakistan’s major cities.
Several senior al Qaeda leaders -- such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Saif al Adel, and Walid bin Attash -- rose through the ranks in al Qaeda by serving in the Black Guard. A Special Forces raid against the Black Guard camp in Danda Saidgai in North Waziristan, Pakistan in March 2006 resulted in the death of Imam Asad and several dozen members of the Black Guard. Asad was the camp commander, a senior Chechen al Qaeda commander, and associate of Shamil Basayev, the Chechen al Qaeda leader killed by Russian security forces in July 2006.

Top al-Qaeda leader reported dead
A senior al-Qaeda leader in Afghanistan, Abu Laith al-Libi, has been killed, Western counter-terrorism officials have told the BBC.
News of his death emerged on a website used by Islamist groups. Ekhlaas.org said he had "fallen as a martyr".
The Western officials have refused to reveal how he was killed.
US intelligence agencies have been investigating reports that a top al-Qaeda figure was killed in the Afghan-Pakistan border area this week.
A missile attack in Pakistan's North Waziristan area reportedly killed 12 or 13 militants.
A Pakistani daily paper, the News, reported that the suspected US strike was aimed at Libi and another senior figure, Obaidah al-Masri.
Al-Qaeda spokesman
Libi has appeared in a number of al-Qaeda videos. In November he appeared alongside al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri.
ABU LAITH AL-LIBI
Born: Libya, around 1941
Description: 6'4" tall, solid build, dark hair and eyes, scars on back
Role: Senior operations commander; al-Qaeda spokesman
Source: Globalsecurity.org
He has acted as a spokesman for the group, announcing in 2002 that Osama Bin Laden and Taleban leader Mullah Omar had survived the US invasion of Afghanistan.
"This individual is in the top half-dozen figures in al-Qaeda... who has a long record of military activity on behalf of al-Qaeda," an unnamed Western official told Reuters news agency.
He is reported to be one of al-Qaeda's most senior field commanders in Afghanistan.
Reports say he was also active across the border in the Waziristan region of Pakistan.
'Drone spotted'
Local officials in Pakistan said on Tuesday that 12 militants had been killed in a missile strike from "an unknown direction".
Residents reported having seen a drone aircraft in the region before the attack.
On Thursday, Pakistani intelligence officials said 13 people had died - seven Arabs and six Central Asians.
One told Reuters: "The missile appeared to have been fired by a drone."
Correspondents say the US has launched a number of strikes at suspected militants in Pakistan - some of them missiles fired by drones.
Pakistan has repeatedly insisted that it will not accept foreign military action on its territory.

Según The Wall Street Journal, pakistaníes y americanos están intensificando la búsqueda de un mando talibán, que podría estar ayudando a Al Qaeda a ampliar su santuario en las regiones tribales de Pakistán.
Y por otro lado, el ISI se niega a que la inteligencia americana se extienda en las zonas tribales de Afganistán. Rechazan su presencia y acciones de combate. Este rechazo se produjo el 9 de enero, cuando se reunieron líderes de inteligencia de los dos países en Pakistán.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden threatened the European Union with grave punishment over the re-publication of cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammad that Muslims saw as offensive.
Bin Laden in an audio recording posted on the Internet said that the drawings which were published by Danish and other newspapers were part of a "crusade" in which the Catholic Pope was involved.

22 minutes ago
Al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden addressed the "wise men" of the European Union in a new audio message slamming the publication of drawings insulting to the Prophet Muhammad and vowed a strong reaction.
The message, which appeared on a militant website that has carried al Qaida statements in the past and bore the logo of the extremist group's media wing al Sahab, showed a still image of bin Laden aiming with an AK-47.
A voice meant to be bin Laden's described European attacks on women and children, but said these "paled (in comparison) when you went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings, this is the greatest misfortune and the most dangerous."
