"Saudis Have Good Reason To Be Concerned" Warns Ex-CIA Officer, As ISIS Enters World's Largest Oil Exporter

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For the longest time there has been speculation whether Jihadist forces, be they ISIS, Nusra or other regional groups, had managed to spread beyond the Iraq conflict zone and infiltrate the world's oil mecca: Saudi Arabia. We now know the answer: according to Bloomberg, a Saudi citizen suspected of organizing the attack on Shiite worshipers in the oil-rich Eastern Province returned from fighting in Iraq and Syria, according to Saudi-owned newspapers. In short, ISIS has arrived in the world's largest oil exporter, which begs the question: was yesterday's news of an oil pipeline explosion, quickly downplayed by Saudi sources as "maintenance-related", in fact what most assumed at first, namely an act of sabotage? And how long until the next "planned maintenance" pipeline explosion?

According to Bloomberg, the citizen organized a cell that carried out the attack that killed seven people in the Shiite village of al-Dalwah after sneaking across the border into the kingdom, al-Hayat and Saudi Gazette newspapers said, citing security officials they didn’t identify. Asharq Al-Awsat said the Saudi fought in regional conflicts. The Interior Ministry declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

This would be the first time that a Saudi returning from the latest conflicts in Iraq and Syria attacked targets in the world’s largest oil exporter, raising concern that sectarian violence may escalate. Saudi Arabia is participating in a U.S.- led military campaign against Islamic State, the al-Qaeda breakaway group that has seized large parts of Syria and Iraq and used social media to recruit Saudi men. In fact, with Saudi Arabia supporting the US campaign against ISIS, many wondered why has ISIS not retaliated yet, leading some to question the heritage of the Jihadist organization, and whether any amount of Saudi funding may be ebhind it.

The Saudis have good reason to be concerned, and the indications are that Saudi authorities are indeed concerned,” said Paul Pillar, a former intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia at the Central Intelligence Agency. “This attack may herald other forms of violence within Saudi Arabia perpetrated by jihadists who had fought in Syria, Iraq, or elsewhere and are now returning home.”

The first confirmed attack by ISIS will hardly be the last: the leader of the cell was injured and arrested in clashes with security forces, al-Hayat reported. The cell included 22 members, 11 of whom had been imprisoned by Saudi authorities for “security” reasons, the London-based newspaper said.

Saudi authorities called the Nov. 3 shooting of the Shiites in the village a terrorist attack. Police detained 15 people and killed three suspects in raids across six cities, the official Saudi Press Agency reported. Two security personnel were killed during a raid in Buraidah in the central Qassim region, according to the news service.

Furthermore, as Site Intel reports, "Jihadists are mourning the death of two fighters" which guarantees more domestic violence in Saudi Arabia and it is only a matter of time before Saudi's oil production facilities are impaired.

More:

The strike in the al-Ahsa oasis occurred at a ceremonial hall known as a Husseiniya during the Shiite religious celebration of Ashoura. Senior Sunni and Shiite religious scholars quickly condemned the attack as they seek to prevent sectarian tension in the Arab world’s biggest economy.

 

The kingdom’s Interior Minister Mohammed bin Nayef visited the families of the victims and the injured in al-Ahsa, where he conveyed King Abdullah’s condolences, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Asheikh, the kingdom’s most senior Islamic scholar, said “sick minds” carried out this “brutal aggression.”

What, if any, is the strategy by the attackers:

If such attacks continue, “this is a very interesting tactic by the regime’s opponents,” said Gregory Gause, head of the International Affairs Department at Texas A&M University. “Target the Shiite, force the state to defend the Shiite and try to polarize more Sunni opinion against the state. I do not think it will work, but it is worth following.”

That, or perhaps one of the numerous oil exporting nations whose economies are getting crushed due to Saudi oil-price suppression tactics, will suddenly realize that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And the last thing the US wants is to deal with an ISIS threat that has the behind the curtain support of some of the biggest global producers of oil.

Finally, for those who may have missed it, this article which we posted in May, shows a clip in which ISIS members declared their intent to bring jihad to Saudi Arabia.

Head cut off so hard, that ya hat can't fit ya

Gettin' head from some 72 Virgin chicks he know

Dead up in the Desert Hood, ain't no love lost
Got me mixed up, you drunk them licks up
Mad 'cause I got my **** ******

Instead ISIS wants to focus on US foreign policy or Poor policy that creates great opportunities for them. Oil producers.

easy pickings has harldy been the mantra of isis. In Syria lately they've been descending on strategically irrelevant place and overrunning them only to get liquidated. This makes great headlines but doesn't win wars - which is the goal. The Western intelligence handlers send a bunch of low iq jihadid to their certain death but it scares the shit out of western mongoloids and justifies military intervention.

 

ISIS is a western creation to use as an irregular army abroad and an excuse to take rights away domestically. Any other analysis is overthinking it. Put aside all the bullshit about their revenues from oil and gas. In the year 2014, in a war zone, unfriendly oil and gas production is 1 smart bomb away from disappearing. ISIS gets most of their money from wealthy gulf state patrons, so any lies to the contrary are just that.

 

The fact that SITE intelligence group tweets are featured here outs this article as distilled horse shit. As does the down voting of posts which flog the obvious truth.

SITE is the source for all the beheaded Westerner videos. They are the ones releasing them. They claim to find them online and then they release them to the media. One would think from the impression the MSM gives in their daily ISIS crisis update that the terrorists posted it to YouTube or something as announcement to the world instead of some private company "finding" it on some terrorist chat forum. Oh and not turning it over to a law enforcement agency who is fighting these said terrorist but instead doing a press release of the video yourself. And not one agency has a problem with these circumstances.

Hardly. A Jihadi wants to fight for his cause until he finds solace in death. Why attack something highly fortified? I'm not talking about a full frontal. IT would take no skill to send VBIEDs into Israel like they do every day against fellow muslims. The fact that they don't do this ( beyond the fact that Israel helps them militarily in the golan heights and with hospital care elsewhere ) outs this as an obvious canard.

Attacking Israel at this phase would be stupid.  Utterly utterly stupid.  Generals don't try and suicide bomb a target themselves, they build an army first and dismantle the enemy.  Israel would LOVE to run around blowing shit up, however ISIS is against Iran and other regional foes of Israel.  Not for the same reasons, but surely they love not getting stuck with the dirty work.  Sure, attack Israel with the ragtag team that is making progress by taking over failed states.. they are good, but not good enough for an actual military that gets unlimited money and weapons and political support from the US.  It would be suicidal.  Consolidate and secure first, worry about Israel later, they ain't going anywhere in the meantime.

ISIS = Masaad/CIA foremost.  The Saudi's may be giving directions to take out the Shias, or Israel may be giving the directons to their controlled leaders in ISIS to take out the Shias in Saudi.  Then Israel can use ISIS to remove the Saudi family.  The jewish have taken over control of the US govt/CIANSA and directs the military - the jewish intend to have simular control of SArabia and the Saudi family's is getting more expendable (and acting contrary to Israel's wishes on occassion).  The Saudi family may not have had Israel's consent to play with oil prices recently.

Through ISIS (and using the US military) Israel can establish control over a more vast region than just SArabia.

Then after they reap all the profits they can get from that game, they eat the host.  If what you suggest is happening then Israel will use this exercise(s) to get ISIS in position to turn after the Saudi family at some time in the future.

Karma may be slow in coming but it eventually gets you.  Decades of death and intervention will always bring some blowback

Saudi Arabia destroyed the USSR by pushing up oil production several hundred percent in 1986 and collapsing oil prices.  Every action has a reaction.  And Saudi Arabia has been sowing the wind for decades.  It will reap its whirlwind, soon enough.

Basically what this is showing is that the Frankenstein creation of US/Saud collaboration is now stalking the Kingdom, as that old FDR/Saud handshake deal starts cracking at the seams, like old parchment. 

The US cannot, or will not, send its own home grown "bodies" to run its Oil empire.

In fact, there are probably more western activists fighting "boots on ground" for Frankenstein than for its "official" enemies.

But drones and missile rain don't know how to tell friend from foe and using that from high up makes you more enemies than friends "down below".

This guy O'Neill will be the iconic performing seal in the zoo that has become Saud's Oil wonderworld. He will be copied by Frankenstein, cut and pasted on the Internet, to define what stealth killing means; to show the world its now a double edged sword. "We have our own O'Neills" they now sing in Raqa.

Cheap oil and cheap bodies, we are truly into dystopian deflation of Pax Americana's NWO plays.

The glorious Al-Saud family beheads their public enemies almost daily, as a public policy which their friends in US government approve whole heartedly. 

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 

What's with the term "Kingdom" applied to the Al-Saud family?  As if it's King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in Saudi Fucking Arabia, the most evil and fucked up military dictatorship in the entire world.  Where Arabs on the street eat dirt while the "Royal" fucking Al Saud family flushes solid gold toilets purchased with US petro dollars.

Where baby Bush kisses on the lips the Al Saud "Princes" while they build and finance Madrasas schools, where the fucking Al Saud family instructs Islamic babies from birth the USSA is solely to blame for every evil heaped on all the world's Muslims but especially those in Saudio Arabia.  Saudi Arabia direct all Muslim hatred westward, while they are bed with the USA who swears to protect the Al Saud family with every fucking military weapon extant for the Saud guarantee to trade oil only for USD, which even that is a lie.

This fucking country the USSA has the most fucked up foreign policy extant and is about 100 years passed its freshness due date for flushing down the toilet of history.  I have no idea why God allows this to go on one more minute.

I think the Sauds are going to be able to protect themselves from ISIS at least until Baghdad falls.

 Though it might matter who Baghdad falls to - ISIS, or Iran.

The Saudis have one of the best equiped military and security forces in the world and can hire the best of mercenaries to suppliment their well trained military.  ISIS will be up against the best money can buy.

Keystone f**king cops.

The Saudi well trained military?   There are plenty of Saudi who want the House of Saud destroyed.  

The Saudi oil fields are dying rapidly and they are back pumping them with seawater to keep the pressure up.  The money is running out there.  Low oil prices will hurt them more than people realize.

Send 1,000 Hezbolah and 1,000 Russian Spetnaz and they will take over Saudi Arabia in a few days.

Well trained?

I visited Ayn Dhil once used to be about 50 feet down to the water level. 25 years later it was 250 feet down. I told a Saudi pilot about this and he confidently told me "We will dig another hole" -  thit is the Al Kharj oasis we are talking about.

We're in safe hands.

ISIS is the U.S. gift to the Saudis. The question is whether the Saudis can refuse that particular gift.

Oh, well, I guess this is what they get for continuing to support the Petrodollar.

"Saudis Have Good Reason To Be Concerned" Warns Ex-CIA Officer, As ISIS Enters World's Largest Oil Exporter...

People in "glass houses"...

If Bassingbourn "training camp" resulted in the embarrassment of sexual assaults in the U.K., then perhaps the Brits need to send them to North Carolina and "spread the love" to the civilian population on the outskirts of Fort Bragg and Benning that manages the "School of the Americas"!

Isn't it wonderful that justice is finally being served with or without the "rule of law" intact?!!!

This is cause for a celebration to the clandestine bunch in Langley for all the fine work and the contributions they have made over the years in the torture and murder department(s) that make it all possible with the "chickens coming home to roost"!

Western special services might be behind ISIS terrorists – intelligence veteran

 

The leaders of Islamic terrorists could be under the direct influence of NATO and Western powers using their movements to threaten Russia’s territorial integrity, says a former general of Russian military intelligence service.

There are some grounds to suspect that American and British special services could support the Islamic extremists in order to target the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation,” Lieutenant-General Nikolai Pushkaryov, formerly of the Central Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff said in an interview with the RIA-Novosti news agency. “The top of these movements can be under the influence of NATO agents,” he added.

It is not "my info." 

It is simply information on thoughts relevant to real world events that one can choose to entertain without accepting as fact, given the capacity to do so.

I suppose it would only be just for the Sauds to be executed for murder by ISIS ... as the Sauds have murdered so many people.

And yet, one cannot create good through evil acts. So, maybe it is not best to serve a cold plate of justice.

They must have forgot, the USA/CIA control the world oil market not them. So sorry your pipe got hurt, maybe you will have to raise prices for repairs and to make up lost inventory?
