On January 24, 2012, online jihadis posted on YouTube an audio clip of Saudi cleric Muhammad bin Nasser Al-Suhaybani in which he legitimized attacks on Western targets, including diplomats and airplanes, and praised Al-Qaeda. Al-Suhaybani, a former dean of the shari'a faculty at the Islamic University (IU) in Al-Madina, currently holds an official position as a lecturer at the Prophet's Mosque in Al-Madina. Al-Suhaybani's lectures can be found on the Saudi government website for the Prophet's Mosque, www.haramain.gov.sa. Al-Suhaybani's picture, it should be noted, is unavailable, as he refuses to be photographed for religious reasons.
