Hier ein Auszug aus einem heutigen Kommentar:

"Fourth and most symbolic, the failure to withdraw American troops from Saudi soil following the Mecca Incident of 1993, long covered up by the Pentagon and revealed now for the first time by highly reliable sources in the Pakistani military. Mecca may well prove to be the rock that will break American military might.

According to these sources, in 1993, a mob of drunken US servicemen attempted to barge into the holiest shrine of Islam. When a crowd of pilgrims pleaded with them and tried to block their entry, the armed American soldiers physically assaulted the worshippers and stormed into the sanctuary. The guards of Mecca opened fire, killing 18 US soldiers.

Outraged by this blatant act of sacrilege and supreme insult on top of so many injuries, leading Saudi families demanded the immediate expulsion of American troops from Saudi Arabia. After the unrepentant Pentagon stubbornly refused to depart, the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, the first in a string of attacks against American interests that reached a climax on September 11, 2001."

Soweit ich weiss, ist"Ungläubigen" das Betreten der Stadt grundsätzlich verboten, weshalb eine Geheimhaltung eines solchen Zwischenfalls durchaus möglich wäre.Weiß irgendjemand mehr?
