Al Qaeda claims responsibility for Saudi attack

Funny how statements from al qaeda sound so similar to rantings often heard from the left in this country.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda group claimed responsibility for Friday's attack on a major Saudi oil facility at Abqaiq, the group said in an Internet statement

The statement, posted by the al Qaeda group in the Peninsula on a Web site often used by militant groups, said two of its members carried out the suicide operation, but gave no details.

"With grace from God alone, hero mujahideen from the squadron of Sheikh Osama bin Laden succeeded today (Friday)...in penetrating a plant for refining oil and gas in the town of Abqaiq in the eastern part of the peninsula, and then allowed two car bombs in driven by two martyrdom seekers," it said.

The statement added: "These plants help in stealing the Muslims' wealth of oil."

Odd a group would so willingly take responsibility for a complete failure. Desperation makes any attempt regardless of how ineffective encouraging I suppose.
