| 2008-06-18 |
| Saudi Arabia is expecting the worst from the al- Qaeda terror network because the group is changing its style and techniques but the kingdom is uncovering more details about its sources of funding, the Saudi Minister of Interior said in remarks published Wednesday. Saudi Arabia's war on terrorism is going ahead steadily but not without difficulty, which is caused by the fact that al-Qaeda is changing its techniques, Prince Nayyif bin Abdel-Aziz told the pan- Arab daily Alsahrq al-Awsat. This is why the Saudi security bodies are expecting the worst from al-Qaeda, the minister added. 'Investigation into sources that may be funding the network in the kingdom is making progress. But the information we have gathered has to be completed,' the minister said. Some people belonging to al-Qaeda may be in Iran,' the minister said. But he ruled out the presence of Saudi detainees in Iran. |

| #6 'Investigation into sources that may be funding the network in the kingdom is making progress. But the information we have gathered has to be completed,' the minister said. This sounds like a crock of cowpucky. It is difficult to image the Saudi intelligence network doesn't keep a tight lid on things in the kingdom. Hmmmn, is money for AQ being funneled through Iran? |

| #4 No doubt money is coming from some members of the House of Saud and the Wahabbi community. But it'll be routed through so many cut-outs it's going to be difficult to trace. |

| #3 "...but the kingdom is uncovering more details about its sources of funding..." So, they finally looked at the "payee" entries in the royal family checkbooks, eh? |

| #1 "...the kingdom is uncovering more details about its sources of funding, the Saudi Minister of Interior said." It seems that the terrorists have SA Riyals and halala. What could that mean? So confusing. |
