Al-Qaeda pledges war on Saudi oil plants
AL-QAEDA has threatened to launch further strikes to force “infidels” out of the Arabian peninsula after admitting responsibility for a suicide bomb attack on the world’s largest crude oil processing plant.
A local branch of Al-Qaeda said yesterday it had carried out the raid on the complex at Abqaiq, in the east of Saudi Arabia, which processes 5m-7m barrels of oil a day — up to 8% of the world’s consumption.
The bombing, named Operation Bin Laden Conquest, was part of efforts to prevent the “theft” of Muslims’ wealth by “crusaders and Jews”, according to a statement signed “Al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula” — the name of the terrorist network’s Saudi affiliate.
