Al-Qaida says Saudi Arabia has until Friday to release Al-Qaida prisoners in exchange for US hostage or they will kill him.
Negotiating with terrorists is probably not an option at this point, so it won't surprise me if Al-Qaida follows through on it's threat and executes the American hostage.
"Their strategy is to try to sow fear in people's hearts, and to panic, and to cause an exodus of foreign workers from Saudi Arabia, in particular Westerners.
They are trying to scare foreign workers into leaving Saudi Arabia because they believe it will weaken the Saudi economy and consequently weaken the Saudi government."
Bastards. If they want their prisoners released, they should trade Osama Bin Laden.
