RIYADH, 9 February 2004 — The newly appointed assistant to the director of intelligence has accused Al-Jazeera satellite channel of inciting terrorism.
Prince Abdul Aziz ibn Bandar described as “an act to incite terrorism” footage aired on Friday by the channel purporting to show the suicide bombers of a Riyadh residential compound minutes before they carried out their attack last November.
“This is not surprising,” he told Okaz newspaper. “Since its launch (in 1996), this channel incites terrorism. (This incitement) is not since the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but long before,” he added.
