Audio Message Urges Muslims to Attack (washingtonpost.com)
by Dementia at 12:04 am EDT, May 22, 2003

Terror evidence, blah blah blah. But what caught my eye was the end of the article. I forget sometimes there are families where terrorists come from who do not believe in their relative's insanity.

] One Saudi who allegedly took up arms was Abdul Kareem
] Yazijy, 35, a suspected member of the cell that carried
] out the suicide bombings here last week. It is unclear if
] Yazijy was killed in the attacks, because only three of
] the nine bombers who died have been positively
] identified.
]
] But at his family home in Riyadh today, Yazijy's younger
] brother, Abdullah, called on him to turn himself in.
] "Whatever the authorities will do to you is not worse
] than what you are thinking of doing," Abdullah Yazijy
] said in a plea spoken to two American journalists.
]
] Yazijy said his brother, the third of eight children in a
] family of civil servants, disappeared about 18 months
] ago. He said his brother had a long history of "emotional
] instability."
]
] He said his mother, in particular, wants to believe her
] son had nothing to do with the bombings. But he
] reluctantly outlined his brother's past, which is
] familiar to investigators.
]
] Yazijy said his brother went to Afghanistan for a few
] months in 1990 after Soviet forces withdrew from the
] country and he later worked for two years in Sarajevo,
] Bosnia, for a Saudi charity. That charity, the Supreme
] Committee for the Collection of Donations for
] Bosnia-Herzegovina, was raided in 2002 because of
] suspected links to al Qaeda.
]
] On May 6, Abdul Kareem Yazijy's face was shown on Saudi
] television as one of 19 men being sought by authorities
] following the discovery of a major arms cache. Six days
] later came the bombings.
]
] "This man brought disaster to the whole family," said
] Zakaria Yazijy, Abdul Kareem's nephew. "He is a crisis in
] the family, like a demon."
]
] "What," Abdullah Yazijy asked plaintively, "do the
] Americans think of us?"
