| Police in the Saudi capital have discovered the "information centre" of al-Qaeda terrorists in Saudi Arabia, a newspaper reported Tuesday. According to the report in the Saudi Okaz newspaper, a raid in the al-Suweidi part of the capital uncovered the headquarters of the Sawt al-Jihad Islamic website, which in the past has disseminated several statements credited to the al-Qaeda network in the Arabian Peninsula. Two men were arrested, both of whose names appeared on a list of 26 suspected al-Qaeda members released by the authorities in December. According to the newspaper, the police also uncovered tailor shops used to make the uniforms worn by the extremists. |

| #3 Frank, cheez, they went to the Police Uniform Store. They have those in every mall in Saoodi land. Separate stores for the wimmin, of course, else the terrorists would get confused. |

| #2 rrriiggghhhtt - of course they didn't get Saudi police uniforms from actual Saudi police. They knitted them themselves, kinda like the fridge story in the Miller beer ads |

| #1 "Information Center" ? Brochures helpfully placed in a rack by the receptionist ? Proud displays of bomb belts, knives, and hoods ? Application forms conveniently placed on the desk as you come in ? |
