In the morning of 13 May 2003, forensic experts began trawling the blast sites of the Riyadh bombing for body parts. In the Vinnell compound lay the scattered remains of Khalid al-Juhani, a suicide bomber whose biography encapsulated the story behind the QAP campaign. In 1992, at age 18, Khalid had travelled to Bosnia to become a mujahid, inspired by the constant calls in mosques and the media for Saudis to help their suffering Muslim brothers in Bosnia. When Khalid returned to the kingdom a couple of years later, his sacrifice for the Muslim nation was no longer recognised by the state. In 1996, perhaps to escape the arrest and torture which befell jihad veterans after the bombings in Riyadh and Khobar, Khalid travelled to Afghanistan, at a time when Usama bin Ladin began rebuilding the al-Qaida organisation to wage global jihad against America. Khalid became a prominent al-Qaida member and recorded a martyrdom video in 2001 in the hope of one day taking part in an operation against the Crusaders. However, when al-Qaida unexpectedly found itself evicted from Afghanistan in early 2002, Bin Ladin decided to open a new battlefront in Saudi Arabia. Khalid was given a new task: go home and prepare for jihad on the Arabian Peninsula. A year later he led one of the attack teams in the 12 May operation.
