For the first time since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Saudi Arabia has publicly acknowledged that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. "The names that we got confirmed that," Interior Minister Prince Nayef said in an interview. "Their families have been notified." Nayef also said the kingdom has detained about 30 people following the attacks, based on lists it received from the United States. Some have been released. Nayef said the men still in detention "have been influenced by bin Laden's thinking... It's possible that we will find among them members of the (al-Qaida) organization. But so far we haven't found anything."
