Saudi Turns His Back on Jihad
[AP/Washington Post] Donna Abu-Nasr - Ahmed al-Shayea suffered severe burns from the truck bomb he had driven into Baghdad on Christmas Day, 2004. Interviewed in Riyadh following his repatriation from Iraq, al-Shayea says he has changed his mind about waging jihad, or holy war, and wants other young Muslims to know it. He wants them to see his disfigured face and fingerless hands, and to hear how he was tricked into driving the truck on a fatal mission.
