Terrorism: Suicide Bomber's 'Wedding' To Feature In New TV Show
AKI ^ | Sept 14 2006

A new programme airing on al-Arabiya, the Dubai-based pan-Arabic network, will on Friday show rare footage of a mock wedding ceremony carried out for a suicide bomber on the eve of his terrorist mission.

Known as The Martyr's Wedding - the young man is being symbolically wed to the 'virgin' that under Islamic teaching awaits him in heaven - it is also believed to be a form of moral encouragement by terrorist groups to encourage followers to conduct suicide operations.

The programme is the second in a new series on terrorism which examines some of the social, religious, political and economic factors that play into the terrorist phenomenon and boasts rare or previously unknown video footage.

The first episode, aired last Friday, discussed the backgrounds of the the three most wanted leaders of Al-Qaeda - Osama Bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - revealing details that have never been shown through video footage and interviews with their relatives and friends.

The upcoming second episode, entitled "From Recruitment To Death", looks at how young people are being convinced to join extremist groups, and how they are being trained on weapons and in carrying out suicidal attacks.

There is also footage showing how and where members of those groups receive intensive training in explosives and in combat with various kinds of weapons.

The surprise of the show, according to al-Arabiya, will be a special interview with one of the former leaders of an extremist group - a friend of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. The two co-founded an Islamic terrorist group in Jordan in the nineties, and spent four years together in jail. This former terrorist leader will be speaking of his experience as a prominent leader of a terrorist group until he reflected, repented and decided to reject violence and the murder of innocent people.

Syria Says US Behind Attack On Own Embassy
AHN ^ | September 13 2006

Senior Syrian government official have accused the US of being behind Tuesday's assault on its own embassy in downtown Damascus.

A Baath party official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told WorldNetDaily, "We in the government are 100 percent sure America was behind this attack, which is not the same as other attacks by Islamic groups."

He explained, "Only the Americans can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President [Bashar] Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria."

The official charged that Washington had orchestrated the attack to "prove Syria is filled with terrorists and to put us in a weak position" in order to extract political concessions. Following the attack, Bush administration officials said they hoped the incident had convinced Damascus of the dangers of Islamic terror and the need to cooperate with the West against the phenomenon.

The US and several of its European allies have repeatedly demanded over the years that Damascus close down the local offices and training camps of several organizations hostile to Israel and the West.

The identities of those who attacked the US embassy Tuesday have not been revealed. Three of the gunmen were killed by Syrian guards during the assault. A fourth was reportedly captured.
