Saudi Arabia has a huge surplus in its budget. This is without counting the billions they donate to such organizations to "convert" to their state religion.

Controversial to say the least. Saudi Arabia is one of America's biggest allies. I wonder how the US government is going to react or will this be kept quiet in American newspapers?

Some quick thumbnail figuring ... I get a very rough and fast count of 105 ounces to come with a Spot price value of $173,000. According to the CIA Fact Book, Per Capita income in Yemen is $2,300.

I think this would be a dandy time for some drones to get some air time ...and a certain U.S. Ambassador to enjoy his New Year festivities back home this year. Just a short departure....but wow. This reward is mind boggling to levels of money seen by average people in that nation.

According to newsagency AFP, the terrorist cell was made up of one man previously arrested under local anti-terrorism laws


WTF? one person makes a terrorist cell?

Not much different than the US offering Millions for info on Al qaeda where abouts..... I just did a search on "US offers rewards for Al qaeda and the amounts are quite large!

At least they are offering Gold and not Federal Reserve fake money.....As far as them putting a hit on a US diplomat, oh well, tit for tat, you reap what you sow I guess

AQAP are just doing this as a means of propaganda they don’t mean it, I highly doubt that they have 3 kilograms of Gold.

All they are doing is trying to drum up a little bit of attention.

You know..I hate to say it..but there is a big difference between Al Qaeda and the U.S. Government in making good for rewards offered. I've never heard of Al Qaeda letting one of their agents or informants go down for life in prison directly resulting from giving them the information they so badly needed and wanted.

Our side did precisely that with the guy who burned the Bin Laden house for the following raid,.


The Pakistani doctor who aided American intelligence in its mission to kill Osama bin Laden has been convicted of high treason in his home country and sentenced to 33 years in prison plus a fine, Pakistani officials said today.

Shakil Afridi ran a vaccination program on behalf of the CIA near the al Qaeda leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in an attempt to collect DNA from bin Laden's relatives and verify that America's most wanted terrorist was indeed in the compound. On May 2, 2011, a team of U.S. Navy SEALs raided the compound and killed bin Laden.

Afridi's role, first reported by the New York Times in July 2011, was publicly confirmed by U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in January when he told CBS News' "60 Minutes" he was "very concerned" for Afridi.

I guess taking care of those who take care of us is another of those old fashioned notions that need to change with the times or something. I don't know how to feel when it's accurate to say Terrorists have more credibility on ANYTHING than we do. I can't say how I ought to feel...but I can't argue the truth either. Burning allies and burning those who trust their lives to us, to HELP us has consequences alright. I just wish our pea brained leaders would think more than 4 years at a time and realize that. They USED to think a bit longer term than this.


* The article says 33 years...but look at pics of the Doc. He's no spring chicken. That was a Death Sentence by old age in a cell.

I am quite sure you will not see this in the media that there is a bounty on one of our ambassadors. That being said, the payday for someone to do this is quite an incentive.

This HAS to be fake, obama said AL-Qaida was defeated and on the run.

I always though AL-Qaida was more of an 'idea' than an organized group with membership. Many documantarys say it does not exist as a group.

Well.......................in a way you are right, unless they are being used to scare the American people into being molested at airports, or are being used by our government to create chaos in countries that the globalist bankers are trying to eliminate............

Otherwise, yes, Al Qaeda is the new age boogieman.....

By the sounds of it, cheap enough to get yourself killed.

That is probably true for groups like Anonymous who don't even know who they are, but it was my understanding that Al -Qaida uses a shared esoteric code to communicate that would be *more* definitive?

I doubt this is really 'A-Qaeda' sitting in a cave offering gold. Definitely a state sponsored group.. but in saying that, after the recent downfalls of Europe, Egypt and Syria i imagine a fair amount of gold was probably nik'd by rebel groups!

Al Qaeda is a pure umbrella term. Translated as "The Base" it's a fitting term. They have functioned as a base all other little groups affiliate with and to for training or support. So it is kinda vague...usually. That is NOT the case with THIS branch of the Al Qaeda family tree. Yemen's little branch is where we've had the American Citizens turning Jihadi to be drone killed by Obama.

I personally WILL NOT link to this...but you can find it by the name if you wish. The Yemen branch or "Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" has themselves a full media operation and their product is as high quality as anything I've seen on a U.S. Magazine rack. Their rag is called "Inspire Magazine" Some sites in the West carry it as leaked or sensitive stuff..and it is, too. That is why I won't link it. Let's just say, you don't want to know what goes in the "Do it yourself" feature section of a Terrorist Magazine.


These guys are definitely people that can be found to get the reward from. It's not like Anonymous putting our a bounty and no one could even GUESS who you'd go to collect from or complain to if they didn't pay.

Except for those in Syria who are allies against Assad.

Saudi Arabia donates massive sums of money for the creation of Madrassas. These are Fanatical Religious Schools that prey upon the plight of poor sexually frustrated young Men.

If you are a poor young Man in Saudi Arabia you have no way to blow off steam. There is no porn or sex unless you get married and to get married you must have money. There is no alcohol and women are covered up so as to make even a glimpse of the fair sex impossible.

All of a sudden a Recruiter for one of these schools finds such Men and offers them shelter, food and an education. Then after a time these Men are offered the ability to become a Suicide Bomber and find their way into paradise where many Virgins await them as a reward.

The Saudi Royalty is afraid to loose power and thus continues to donate money to these schools.

He was talking about “Core Al-Qa’ida”, Al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula is still very much alive and kicking and is considered now to be one of the most dangerous groups.
