| Saudi Wants Any National Arrested as Qaeda in Iran |
| 2003-05-27 |
| Saudi Arabia, rocked by suspected al Qaeda attacks this month, said Tuesday it hoped Iran would hand over any Saudi nationals if found among a group of alleged al Qaeda members arrested by Tehran this week. "We hope that if there are any Saudis there, they would cooperate and we have an agreement with Iran in this fashion," Saudi Foreign Affairs Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference in Riyadh. Iran said Monday it had arrested and would interrogate several suspected members of al Qaeda. That's funny, I thought that Iran had assured us that there wasn't any al Qaeda in Iran? Prince Saud said his country was cooperating with U.S. officials in investigating the attack, adding Saudi officials had information that weapons were being smuggled into the kingdom from the Iraqi border. "We have information of smuggling from the Iraqi borders and we will get into touch with the occupying powers there to see what could be done," he said. Of course there was no such smuggling under Sammy's rule. It must be our fault that this is happening now. Prince Saud hinted to reporters of a possible link between the triple suicide bomb attacks in the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, and bombings in Casablanca which came a few days later. "We don't think it's accidental that it happened so near to each other," Prince Saud said. Neither do I. A Riyadh-based Western diplomat said Thursday that Saudi authorities had arrested four men on suspicion of belonging to al Qaeda. The "usual suspects" routine. |

| #2 Perhaps since the golden bribe money was confiscated, the Iranians will have no use for these "usual suspects". And the Saudi's get their man. Don't do the crime if you can't pay the bribe. |
