Democracy for the Middle East
June 15, 2004Just In From Eurabia
ABC News reports that Qatar's Al-Jazeera News Network aired 
this video of the apparent murder and mutilation of American, Robert Jacob in Riyadh last week. The footage was posted on a web site and attributed to an Al Qaeda terror cell.
There's a rather interesting relationship between the anti-American Arab network and the anti-American British one. Al-Jazeera is headed up by Ahmed al-Shaikh who previously worked for the BBC. When he arrived in March he replaced Ibrahim Hilal who had left al-Jazeera to join the BBC. Just as it did in Israel, the British network will probably dispatch MP Jenny Tonge to Riyahd to empathize with the families of the "militants" who shot "the American Jew."
As for the rest of us, words of condolence can be sent to the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia by clicking here.
