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?" Audio Message Urges Muslims to Attack (washingtonpost.com) |
