Dubai - A statement purported to be from the al-Qaeda organisation and received by e-mail claimed responsibility for Saturday's attacks against oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia which left at least four Westerners dead.
"The heroic mujahedeen in the Jerusalem Squad were able, by the grace of God, to raid the locations of American companies... specialising in oil and exploration activities and which are plundering the Muslims' resources, on Saturday morning," said the statement signed by "the al-Qaeda Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula".
"They have so far managed to kill or wound a number of crusaders, God's enemies. We will give details later, naming the heroes of our blessed squad," it said.
The authenticity of the claim could not be independently confirmed.
