| Saudi Arabia confirms threat to oil facilities |
| 2006-10-28 |
| Top world oil exporter Saudi Arabia said on Friday it was taking measures to protect its oil and economic installations from a "terrorist threat". Western naval forces in the Gulf have been deployed to counter a possible seaborne threat to its Ras Tanura oil terminal. "The terrorist threat to the kingdom's economic installation exists and it is a declared goal of the straying faction to affect the interests of the Saudi citizen," an Interior Ministry spokesman said. "Saudi security forces are cooperating and coordinating with the Saudi navy to take the necessary security measures," he told Reuters. |

| #6 I love the nano-nuance, the sheer bogglenessiosity of S.A.... Wahhabists, many of them Royals - supported by all Royals by Aziz decree, funding the spread of uber-fundamentalist Islam... alQ spreading and promoting essentially the same uber-fundamentalist Islam, at least as can be determined by one not born to the shit... ...and there they are, trying to kill each other off. A pox on the lot. Popcorn? |

| #5 Agreed, NS. Al-Q is gunning for the House of Saud, or at least for those members of the house who aren't in the austere Wahabi / spend time in a tent every year faction. |

| #3 So I presume gas will be going up at the mention of this. Curious, isn't it? Al Qaeda would LOVE to see the Dems take over Congress in a couple weeks. As far as they're concerned, a rise in gas prices would be just peachy right about now. |

| #2 Sounds like the Brigade of the Angry Sands. Terrorists from Ft. McMurray, ruthless back bacon banditos. They'll stop at nothing. |
