Wiam Wahhab: There are two types of Islamists. One type has a strong conviction with regard to fighting the Americans and their enterprise. They include some of the resistance movements in Iraq... We must not lump all the Islamists Together. On the other hand, there are Islamists who work for the CIA. They are steered and financed by Saudi Arabia.

Interviewer: So you say that...
Wiam Wahhab: Search for the [Jewish] Qaynuqa' tribe. The Muslims know this. Search for the Qaynuqa' tribe, and you will discover what's going on with the Saudi regime today.
