Al-Qaida in Saudi Arabia Claims April Attack on Airport in Al-Qaseem

By Evan Kohlmann

Al-Qaida's Committee in the Arabian Peninsula has taken responsibility for an alleged sabotage attack in late April on helicopters parked at an airport in Al-Qaseem, Saudi Arabia. According to a statement dated June 11, Al-Qaida claimed that its operatives breached airport security and destroyed three helicopters in retribution for their role in recent counterterrorism raids. Al-Qaida also called upon its faithful in Saudi Arabia to "prepare as much jihad power as you can to fight your enemies... Do not let fear deter you from your Jihad� Commence your operations in fighting against the enemies of almighty Allah because if you do, then the truth behind your enemies will be revealed and defeating them will become easier."
