A terrorism expert is questioning the lack of outrage from the Obama administration over the execution of three Christians in Yemen who are believed to have been murdered by a former Gitmo detainee.
According to a report by OneNewsNow.com, the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, DC has confirmed that nine foreign nationals – four German adults, three small German children, a British man and a South Korean woman were abducted on June 12 after they ventured outside the city of Saada without their required police escorts.
Only days later, the bodies of two of the Germans, Rita Stumpp and Anita Gruenwald, and Eom Young-sun of South Korea were found shot execution style in an area known to be a hotbed of Al Qaeda activity. The fate of the remaining six abducted people remains a mystery.
Christians are not permitted to proselytize in the Muslim world and experts suspect this is why the three were murdered.
Terrorism expert, Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says the crime appears to have been the work of Al Qaeda’s number two man in the Arabian Peninsula – Said Ali al-Shihri, an Islamic terrorist who once was in American custody but who was released from the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
He says the crime illustrates the folly of Obama’s plan to close GITMO and release potentially dangerous prisoners.
“Freeing some of them is unconscionable, and essentially criminal. Barack Obama had begun to pursue a course based on the assumption that all the conflicts between the West and Islamic world are all our fault. Well what happened in Yemen indicates that that’s a bankrupt and inaccurate point of view,” he says.
“The President of the United States and the United Nations, if they were really doing their jobs, would be protesting.”
