Al-Qaida in Saudi Arabia Responds to Counterterrorism Raids in Dammam

By Evan Kohlmann

Al-Qaida's Jihad Committee in Saudi Arabia has released a new communiqué and audio recording in response to recent armed clashes that took place in the eastern city of Dammam between Saudi police and wanted Al-Qaida members beginning on Sept. 4.  According to the communiqué, Saudi Interior Ministry representatives were incorrect in claiming that the militants possessed large amounts of explosives and that wanted Al-Qaida operative Mohammed al-Suwailmi was among the casualties from the battle.  In order to make their point, Al-Qaida also released an alleged audio recording of al-Suwailmi alongside their communiqué narrating the clashes in Dammam.
