Statements posted on an ‘Islamist website,’ by individuals with alleged ties to Al-Qaeda leader and former CIA protégé Osama bin Laden, claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of Paul M. Johnson, a U.S. contractor in Saudi Arabia.
One of the statements said: "Our fighters of the Fallujah Brigade in the Arabian peninsula have kidnapped an American, a Christian, Paul M. Johnson Jr. born in 1955 and working as an aeronautics engineer," said the statement signed "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula" and published on the Islamist website (www.ansarnet.ws/vb/showthread.php?t=9351).
The “Al-Qaeda group” claiming responsibility for the kidnapping posted a passport size photo of Johnson and a Lockheed-Martin business card on the website. According to their statements, he will be treated “the same the way U.S. troops have treated Iraqi prisoners.”
