Writing in the Egyptian "Al Wafd, Magdi Sarhan suggests that the true culprits behind world terrorism are those who stand to gain the most from it - Israel and the United States: "It is no coincidence that a French Navy unit is exposed to a terrorist attack in Yemen and that Muslims are accused of mounting the operation. The objective is to have France ease up its opposition of US policies. Likewise, the Moscow theatre siege drama, staged by a group of Muslim Chechens, is used in a similar way as also the Washington sniper incident, for which a Muslim American has been caught. "All these events and others, beginning with the 11 of September, have the same motors as well as the same goals. Only one party, the US and Israel, seems to gain by them. The US seeks control of Arab oil and Arab wealth. Israel, on the other hand, wants to insure its own stability and to eliminate its Muslim enemies. They are the winners, while we stand stand both the victim and the prey. "
