Saudi Arabia's Al Sulayyil IRBM Missile Base

The U.S trained/equipped the Mujahadeen (not Al-Qaeda) who later helped us fight Al-Qaeda and the Taleban. A couple of days before 9/11 the leader of the Mujahadeen was going to alert American agents that an attack by Al-Qaeda was very close to happening. Al-Qaeda murdered him before he could get the word out. And even Bin Laden has said on his videotapes that he was never trained or equipped by America.

You are referring to Ahmed Shah Massoud, leader of the NOrthern Alliance who fought against the Taliban. Probably one of the greatest and most charismantic of leaders in Afghanistan.
I was under the impression he was murdered because the Taliban and Al-Qaeda knew that his leadership would be pivotol to any american attack and reform of Afghanistan.




Anyway, backon topic. SaudiArabian is right, teh missiles were originally used as a counterweight to any Iranian agression during the 1980's. However I believe Chinese technicians are still on site.

these IRBM's were been bought from China during the 80's just to threat Iran from invading us and these weapons are not to attack anyone else .

SaudiArabian, I hope you're correct.

home of al qaeda is Afghanistan not Saudi Arabia and we are not the only ones responcible for its establishment but also the US government is involved in the establishment of that terror organization . too bad we and our American allies failed in the attempts to elemenate Osama several times in the 90's when he was in Sudan

The last time Osama was in the U.S. cross-hairs the order to fire was never given as members of the Royal Family of UAE (who were meeting with him at the time) refused to give permission for the order to be executed.

It was Clinton who didn't give the order. This was because OBL was hlidaying and hunting with several UAE Princes and their families. At the time, the colateral damage would hve been too great as Tomahawks would have taken everyone out.

Members of the royal family of UAE, Saudi's neighbour, provided funding to Al Qaida, in addition to spending time with OBL while hunting, etc, and gave us a rare glimpse of the true colours of the top level elite of the UAE. They were spending time with OBL after he'd committed a number of terror attacks, including the first attack on the WTC in the early 90's.

Could some members of the Saudi royal family also have provided substantial funding to Al Qaida? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

What a pity Dick Chaney wasn't out hunting with OBL that day.

Hmm incorrect.

The Afghan Northern Alliance is made up of an ethnically and religiously disparate group of rebel movements united only in their desire to topple the ruling Taleban.

General Ahmed Shah Masood, leader of the alliance until his death earlier this month, made a series of alliances with former opponents, some of whom the Taleban had driven into exile.

news.bbc.co.uk...

In winter 1375 (1996) Massoud was in a position to unite all opponents of the Taliban under his guidance in the first so-called "Jab-e Nejaat-e Melli bara-ye Aazaadi Afghanistan" (Front of National Rescue for the liberation of Afghanistan) and "Jabh-e Motahed-e Melli" (National United Front). This union did not consist, as spread in the Pakistani media and later in the West, of a “Northern Alliance,” thus only the “northern states” of Afghanistan, but included resistance forces from all parts of the country

www.massoudhero.com...

In early September the alliance was dealt a critical blow by the assassination of leader General Ahmed Shah Masood, who had been integral in forging alliances with former opponents and maintaining the co-ordination of a patchwork of guerrilla fighter units.

news.bbc.co.uk...

In early 1992, the forces of Tajik leader Ahmed Shah Massoud, Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, head of a powerful Uzbek militia that had been allied with Najibullah, and the Hazara faction Hizb-i Wahdat, joined together in a coalition they called the Northern Alliance

Osama is a god damn expert in lieing and brainwashing . he has his stingers and he himself sent a thanks message to Prince Bandar during the 80's for the Stinger missiles which the US have sent to the afghanis

the US , Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Pakistan and Kuwait trained and funded them during the 80's but never been helped them after the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan and it was a war against communism of the soviet union but unfortunatly most of these afghanis and the ones fighting with them turned into terrorists and started attacking their own countries

Taliban religion is called Sofi Diopandi not a Sunni branch they use Islam in a different way . it belongs to a Sofi school that started in Indian village called Diopand ( or Dioband , i don't know the spelling in English ) and spreaded in south Asia and reached Afghanistan that way .

however Osama is a long story which i might tell alot about but this thread is about As Sulayyil base not about that traitor

Salam

none of the Saudi royals is funding the al Qaida . they fund hamas and the Palistinian resistance against Israel yes but not al qaida !

how come a prince would give money to the enemies who wants to kill him ?

Osama stated before "Afghanistan is the only Islamic country in the world and i do not consider Saudia as an Islamic country"

he does not consider the homeland of the two holy mosques as an Islamic country and he sends his mercenaries to do terror attacks against us and last one was against Abqaiq Oil refinery and two Saudis died

infact we attempted to kill Osama twice times when he was in Sudan but we failed . after that the US tried to but failed again and then he ranaway to afghanistan and have put plans to destroy Saudi Arabia in any way

all of us should ask " why did Osama choosed and brainwashed 15 Saudis to do the attacks of 11 september ?"

it is very clear he wanted to drag the US to invade and destroy Saudi Arabia and now he's doing his best to show "Saudis" in the world as if they are terrorists

not to forget to mention his family is a Yemeni family that came to here and gained the nationality so he'll have not even a droplit of Patriotism
