Following is rare footage of TV comedian-turned-suicide bomber Muhammad Shazzaf Al-Shehri, which was aired on Al-Arabiya TV on December 17, 2005.
Voice: This is footage of an event
held by the Zulfi province education department. This event was filmed by an amateur in early 2003, but the distribution
of the file was later prevented. The event was presented by the suicide bomber Muhammad bin Shazaf Ali Aal Makhzum Al-Shehri, who would blow himself up a few months later
at the AI-Hamraa residential compound in east Riyadh.
Muhammad Shazzaf Al-Shehri: Whom must we all hate? Only the American leaders? No, all of America. We must boycott all American products, right? Does anyone disagree, brothers? I know I may be killed for this, but let's fight, brothers. Let's listen to the truth, brothers. Does anyone oppose the truth? No one.
America is raiding our brothers in Iraq, while we sit here perfectly content.
Voice: After Al-Shehri's speech, songs inciting to Jihad began, describing non-mujahideen as being fast asleep.
Singing: Get up and shake off your slumber, because Islam is back. We have come for the sake of Allah, and we have declared Jihad. We have returned
with sub-machine guns. We have the leadership today. We have awakened our generation, individually and as a whole.
Voice: Gradually, the song, in Hijazi dialect, began to have an effect on those present.
Singing: For the sake of my religion, everything else is meaningless. Even if they deport me and make me cry. Even if they torture me, they will not succeed. Even if they threaten me - no matter what they say. Even if they torture me, they will not succeed. Even if they threaten me – no matter what they say.
