UNITED FRONT:

Public Urged to Inform on Terrorists (Arab News, 5 June 2004)

Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority yesterday issued a fatwa, or religious edict, calling on citizens and expatriates to inform on suspected extremists engaged in terrorist activities.

The committee that issues religious rulings, headed by Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, “urges citizens and (foreign) residents to inform on anyone planning or preparing to carry out an act of sabotage,” the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The aim is to “protect the people and the country from the destructive effects of such actions and to shield the planners themselves from the consequences of their actions,” the fatwa said.

The committee condemned the recent attacks in the Kingdom and urged extremists to “fear God Almighty and come to their senses.”

The more bombs the better we're doing.
