Al-Qaida's Committee in the Arabian Peninsula has issued a new communiqué dismissing the recent arrests of alleged Al-Qaida operatives by Saudi security forces and denying rumors posted on Mohammed al-Massari's Internet website that the popular Al-Hesbah discussion forum was used by intelligence agencies to infiltrate Al-Qaida in Saudi Arabia. According to the statement, "[t]he purpose of the recent allegations is only to make the supporters of the mujahideen fearful of using the Internet... we can only say good things about our brothers from the Al-Hesbah network. Even if we suppose that they really did—per se—infiltrate into our network as it is alleged, we have already taken all the necessary precautions with respect to such a scenario."
