Last night we received a video that I'm told is from al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, and that it focuses on Fahd Farraj al-Juweir, the former Emir of al-Qaeda in the Land of Mohammed, who was killed two weeks ago in the failed attack on the Abqaig oil facility. We've converted the file to a standard WMV format for viewing.
Accompanying the video we received were three documents, all in Arabic, one of which is dated yesterday. We will do what we can, when we can, to translate both the documents and video for you. Fluent speakers are welcome to email us with a translation if you have the time. The video is lengthy, but if you don't speak Arabic only the first three minutes or so will be of interest. Still, it's worth the look to see the material flowing out of the terror peninsula and into the hands of jihadists.

UPDATE @ 9:26am: The video is legit. How long before the attack Juweir recorded his message is unknown, though the video was in fact released yesterday.
"To Americans we tell you to leave Mohammed's peninsula (Saudi Arabia), and leave all Muslim lands. Stop aiding Jews in Palestine and stop aiding Christians in Muslim lands or else you will face killing, destruction and bombings," said Juweir, who was on a most wanted list of al-Qaeda suspects.
"To the Saudi government, we have come to you to slaughter you and your rule is fleeting ... If you knew what the (mujahideen) have prepared for you, you would be fleeing this Arabian peninsula," he said.
Juweir also called on Saudi security forces to join the group's holy war. "(Interior Minister Prince) Nayef bin Abdul Aziz told you to sell your souls to his government and kill for him in defence of Americans ... Stop defending tyrants and join the mujahideen or else you know what awaits you," he said.
