In an unprecedented move, Saudi Arabia has warned its citizens of an imminent Al Qaida attack. Saudi authorities said Al Qaida has prepared a car bomb for an attack in Riyad. They have called on citizens to be on the lookout for such a vehicle. The Saudi Interior Ministry said the car laden with explosives was registered to a fugitive sought by authorities. They also said the car was last seen in eastern Riyad in a section known for its Al Qaida sympathies. "The Interior Ministry would like to notify both citizens and residents, especially in Riyad, that we have confirmed information that a vehicle registered in the name of one of the suspects has been equipped with a large quantity of explosives to be used in a criminal act," the ministry said in a statement carried by radio and television.
