Sieze Saudi “Kernel Of Evil” Oil Fields Advocate Dies 10 Years After 9/11
Many of those who participated in the 9/11 attacks were Saudi citizens, but the US had expelled Osama bin Laden a decade earlier, and the entire bin Laden family the day after…
"Saudis are active at every level of the terror chain, from planners to financiers, from cadre to foot soldier, from ideologist to cheerleader… Saudi Arabia supports our enemies and attacks our allies."
Laurent Murawiec, 58, a think-tank geostrategist who stirred an outcry in 2002 by contending that Saudi Arabia was the "kernel of evil" in the Muslim world and that its oil fields should be seized if it didn't do more to fight terrorism, died Oct. 7 of multiple myeloma at his home in Washington.
He recommended that the United States seize Saudi oil fields and target its financial assets if the Middle Eastern government did not take definitive actions against terrorists.
His 24-slide PowerPoint briefing to the Pentagon advisory panel was leaked to The Washington Post, and the subsequent front-page article caused an international stir. Pentagon and State Department officials distanced themselves from his comments to avert a major diplomatic crisis between the United States and its long-time ally less than a year after the terrorist attacks of 2001.
