(回答先: サウジ爆発米操作の米発記事あり同国人殺し疑う日本優等生に日本の実例515進呈 投稿者 木村愛二 日時 2003 年 5 月 18 日 11:51:17)
一つ目の記事は、Alsaha.fares.netに掲載された記事の英訳。
サウジアラビアの爆破事件はアル・カーイダの仕業ではないとするものです。
3人のシェイクの連名の声明文は、19人の容疑者たちは信心深いムスリムなのだから、同朋に危害を加えるわけはないというもの。
その声明に付け加えられたAlsaha.fares.netのコメントには、サウジ当局が発表した19人の容疑者の中には既に数年前の死亡した人が含まれている、
爆破事件に先立って、サウジ当局はこの容疑者達のアジトを捜索し、武器・弾薬を発見したとあるが、その写真すら公表されていない。
銃撃戦になったというのに、19人もいる犯人グループの1人も逮捕できないのはどういう訳だ？
犯人達が使ったとされる盗難車の車種すら発表されていない、本当に盗難車なのか？バスなんじゃないか？
サウジ当局者は車とバスの区別がつかないのか、それとも声明文の印刷ミス（「car」と「bus」）なのか？と疑問を呈しています。
2つ目の記事は、ウィリアム・O・ビーマン氏（ブラウン大学中東研究所所長）によるもので、この事件は目標（ヴィネル社）からみて、
オサマ・ビン・ラディンとの関係は希薄か、或いは全く関係のないロカールな反君主制主義者によるものと推測しています。
（以下、かいつまんで）
ヴィネル社は、1975年以来サウジアラビアの国家警備隊の訓練をしてきた、つまり、第一次湾岸戦争で米軍が正式に駐留を開始する以前からサウジに駐留していた「秘密部隊」であり、
ヴィネルに訓練されたサウジの国家警備隊は革命家にとってはアメリカ軍そのものであり、国家警備隊の弱体化はサウド家の弱体化に繋がる。
イラク戦争後に予定されていたサウジ駐留米軍の撤退には、ヴィネル社（の職員）の撤退は含まれていない。
ヴィネルが標的になったのは今回が始めてではなく、1995年にヴィネルに訓練された国家警備隊本部が攻撃されている。
事件後、２つの反体制グループが犯行声明を出したが、そのグループは２つともサウジの君主制と米軍駐留を批判していた。
ブッシュ政権はアル・カーイダは「非常に良く組織化されたグループで、全世界で活動できる」という印象を与えているが、
アル･カーイダは、緩やかに提携したセル（細胞）の集合体であり、多くの場合、セルは他のセルの活動を知らない。
サウジの反体制グループは何十年も前から、オサマ・ビン・ラディンの活動が始まる前から存在していた。
反体制グループの指導者が逮捕されるか死ぬかすると、残りの分子はすぐに再組織して活動を再開する。
アル・カーイダという比較的新しい組織は、これらの反体制グループから出現したと考えるのが適当だ。
もし、サウジアラビアに米軍が駐留していなかったとしても、この悲劇的な攻撃は起きただろう。
準軍事的なヴィネル社の存在が、恐らくローカルな革命活動によるものと思われるこのアメリカに対するクロス・ファイヤーを約束していた。
Saudi Sheikhs:A Statement Defending The 19 Alleged Suspects
May 15, 2003 Source: Alsaha.fares.net, Translated By JUS
Saudi Sheikhs Nasser Ben Fahd, Ali Ben Khodeir and Ahmed Al-Khaledi released a statement concerning the 19 suspects wanted by Saudi authorities for their alleged planning to carry out terrorist attacks in Riyadh.
The Sheikhs said that what pushed them to write this statement is that a lot of people asked them about the truth concerning these suspects.
They added that it is an Islamic obligation to demonstrate the innocence of these 19 Mujahideen, in order to relieve people from this confusion the authorities raised.
The Sheikhs said that they came to this conclusion from the following facts:
1.We know some of these suspects, whose names and pictures were distributed by the Saudi authorities.
They are of the most courageous and pious Mujahideen;
they sacrificed their fortune and their bloods for the sake of Allah, and they participated in the Jihad against the American Crusaders in Afghanistan.
They carried out heroic operations in the battles of "Tora Bora" Mountains in December 2001.
They were considered criminals and terrorists because they fought the enemies of Allah, as the almighty said in the Quran
"They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the might, the owner of praise" (Quran 85:8).
2. By the grace of Allah, the majority of Mujahideen managed to escape safely from the Americans and their Afghan agents after the battles of Tora Bora.
The Crusaders failed to capture them, despite distributing their photos on the Afghan hypocrites as soon as they controlled Tora Bora.
3.The Mujahideen, who sacrificed all they had in order to defend Islam, offered their lives for the sake of their Lord and who struggled bravely against the infidels in Afghanistan, encountered arrest, torture, and persecution as soon as they returned back to their countries.
Their Jihad for the sake of Allah had become a crime and terrorism.
4.The Saudi authorities distributed the photos of these Mujahideen among security forces a long time ago in response to American orders to bring them, but they failed to capture them, so they manipulated this story about their plan for Terrorist operations in Riyadh in order to spread their photos among the people, and to push deceived Muslims to take part in the crime of capturing the Mujahideen to hand them to the Crusaders.
The authorities further offered rewards that range from 200,000 to 300,000 riyals ($53,000 to $80,000) to anyone with information leading to an arrest.
5. These Mujahideen are virtuous and pious enough to not think about killing Muslims or damaging their properties.
It is irrational that these Mujahideen, who sacrificed their lives to defend their Muslim brothers in Afghanistan, plan to hurt or terrify their brothers in Saudi Arabia, and any attempt to accuse them of such crimes is one of the biggest sins in Islam.
Based on these facts, it is an Islamic obligation to support shelter and defend these Mujahideen and any attempt to hurt, pursue, assist or even distort their reputation will be assistance for the infidel Crusaders to oppress their Muslim brothers. Remember Allah words
"help not one another unto sin and transgression" (Quran 5: 2).
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Heaven is interdicted for informers."
We fear Allah's punishment for any Muslim who will help in hurting these Mujahideen in any way, we believe and only Allah knows how pious and virtuous these youths are. Ironically, some Muslims fight these Mujahideen and accuse them insolently to be terrorists instead of supporting them against the Americans who destroyed and killed thousands of innocent Muslims.
We ask our brothers, Sheikhs and Scholars to reveal the truth for the people and support these Mujahideen.
It is unacceptable for them to stay silent while their brothers are attacked in this way, and it is an obligation for them to raise this issue in order to inform people about the innocence of the Mujahideen.
We ask all the brothers to publish this statement everywhere; in markets, mosques, public places and on the internet as a way to help the oppressed Muslim youths. Finally, we ask Allah the almighty to help these Mujahideen and award those who helped them and to fight those who attempted to hurt them.

Nasser Ben Fahd
Ahmed Al-Khaledi
The Arabic website Alsaha.fares.net made additional comments about the statement saying that alot of Mujahideen left Afghanistan after the war and the CIA got some of their names from investigations with the Gauantanamu captives. The Americans sent this list to the Saudi authorities in order to arrest them. The Saudi authorities obeyed these orders as usual and distributed the list to security forces in every checkpoint plus the names of some Sheikhs that supported the Mujahideen such as Sheikh Ali Ben Khodeir and Sheikh Abdullah Al-Rashood. The Saudi checkpoints then intensified their search for the Mujahideen in Riyadh and in Qassim, but failed to arrest any of these names.
They went on to say that during Donald Rumsfeld's last visit to Saudi Arabia he asked specifically about the wanted Mujahideen, and when he did not find any of them arrested he pressured the Saudi officials who do not even have any accurate information about them; therefore, they fabricated a story about the Muijahedeen intentions to carry out terrorist attacks against Saudi people.
The website added that there are many evidences supporting the innocence of the Mujahideen:
1.The statement distributed by the Saudi authorities included the names of some Mujahideen who martyred several years ago!
2. The Saudi authorities did not show any photos of the uncovered Mujahideen's cache of weapons and explosives that were claimed to be confiscated.
3. Is it reasonable that the Saudi authorities got all these fabricated pieces of information they claim about the Mujahideen and cannot arrest any of them?
And why could not the police arrest any of the 19 during he shootout?
Finally, if the Saudi authorities' statement claimed that the wanted suspects escaped in a stolen car why did not they mention the model of the car?
And was it really a stolen car?
Which kind of cars that can carry 19 persons?
They may be unable to distinguish between a car and a bus!
Or it may be a printing error in the government statement.

Saudi Bombing - A Calculated Act With a Political Message
A thorough understanding of the incident -- a repeat of a similar attack that took place in 1995 -- might help the United States to act in a responsible and measured manner.
Commentary, William O. Beeman, 05/16/03:
(Pacific News Service) The brutal bombings in Riyadh that killed at least 30 people were far from random, irrational acts directed primarily at Americans, writes PNS contributor William O. Beeman.
Their target -- a U.S.-based company that trains the Saudi National Guard -- suggests local, anti-monarchist motivations and attackers who may have little or no connection to Osama bin Laden.
President Bush characterized the May 12 suicide bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as being carried out by "killers whose only faith is hate." In fact, the devastating attack was a calculated, political act that was probably not orchestrated by al Qaeda and not directed primarily against the United States.
A thorough understanding of the incident -- a repeat of a similar attack that took place in 1995 -- might help the United States to act in a responsible and measured manner.
Both the recent bombings and the 1995 attack were made against the same target.
This was the Vinnell Corp., a Fairfax, Va., company recently acquired by Northrop-Grumman that trains the 80,000 member Saudi Arabian National Guard under the supervision of the U.S. Army.
Why Vinnell?
The Vinnell operation represents everything that is wrong with the U.S.-Saudi relationship in the eyes of anti-monarchist revolutionaries.
The corporation, which employs ex-military and CIA personnel, has close connections with a series of U.S. administrations, including the current one.
It has had a contractual relationship to train the Saudi Arabian National Guard since 1975.
The corporation was instrumental in the American "Twin Pillars" strategy, whereby both the Saudi Arabian regime and the Shah of Iran would serve as U.S. surrogates in the Gulf region to protect American interests against the possible incursion of the Soviet Union.
Even before the first Gulf War, when the United States established a formal military presence in Saudi Arabia, Vinnell was a "stealth" military presence in the Kingdom.
It was seen as a military colonizing force.
The Saudi Arabian National Guard, by extension, was seen as a de-facto American military force.
Additionally, the Guard has the specific duty of protecting the Saudi Royal Family, which the revolutionaries see as corrupt.
Without the National Guard, the family would be weakened, perhaps to the point of dissolution.
Thus, since the Vinnell operation looks to revolutionaries like a body of United States-sponsored mercenaries shoring up the National Guard, and by extension, the royal family, striking the Vinnell operation is a logical strategy to damage the Saudi regime.
There is another reason for attacking Vinnell.
The dissidents know that the United States has agreed to withdraw the 5,000 troops stationed at the Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan Air Force Base.
However, the withdrawal would not cover the Vinnell contract employees, who presumably will stay in Saudi Arabia and keep propping up the regime.
Since the revolutionaries want all Americans out of Saudi Arabia, they are looking to the ouster of this group as well as the troops based at the Prince Sultan base.
Furthermore, the compound that was bombed was a relatively easy target.
It was not as heavily defended as an embassy or ministry.
This is not the first attack involving Vinnell.
In 1995, the terrorists attacked the Saudi National Guard Headquarters, where the Guard was trained by Vinnell.
The bomb killed six people and injured many more.
Among the dead were five U.S. citizens, including two soldiers.
Two Saudi opposition groups took responsibility for the blast, the Tigers of the Gulf and the Islamic Movement for Change.
Both have previously criticized the ruling Saudi monarchy and U.S. military presence.
The facts of this earlier attack call into question the theory that the al Qaeda operation was responsible for the May 12 bombing.
Ali al-Ahmed, executive director of the Washington-based Saudi Institute for Development and Studies, said on the PBS NewsHour of May 13 that this was a "home-grown operation" that borrowed ideas from al Qaeda but was not directed by Osama bin Laden.
Americans have become used to thinking of al Qaeda as the primary terrorist opponent of the United States.
The Bush administration has encouraged a public view of al Qaeda as a highly organized group with omnipotent, worldwide reach.
This has led to a general view that every group espousing violent political change is an emanation of Osama bin Laden's machinations.
The view is inaccurate.
Insofar as it has a structure at all, al Qaeda is a group of loosely affiliated cells, many of which have no knowledge of the operations of the others.
Groups opposed to the Saudi regime have been in continual existence for decades, predating bin Laden's activities.
As soon as their leaders are arrested or killed, they regroup and renew their attack.
It is more likely that al Qaeda, a relatively new organization, sprung from these earlier groups, rather than the other way around.
Currently the United States is wedded to a bipolar, black-and-white view of the world.
On one side are the United States and its friends.
On the other are the dark forces of terrorism.
So strong is this formulation, and so self-centered the American worldview, that Washington no longer seems able to entertain the thought that there might be revolutionary groups that have entirely local reasons for their actions.
This tragic attack might well have taken place
if the United States had not had a presence in Saudi Arabia.
However, the existence of a quasi-military command force in the form of the Vinnell Corp. virtually guaranteed that Americans would be caught in the cross fire of what was arguably a local revolutionary action.
