...Saudi Arabia last week, a camel named "no to terrorism" finished second in the annual race that begins the Janadriya cultural festival. That was probably heartening for Crown Prince Abdullah, who watched the race, since it reinforced the message of his current antiterrorism propaganda campaign. The word is everywhere. There are electric billboards in downtown Riyadh flashing slogans like islam is moderation and say no to terrorism. Indeed, after the camel race-and a banquet featuring tables groaning with whole lambs (one animal for every 10 diners, I estimated)-there was an opera celebrating the royal family, climaxed...
...have done this, at least in part, because they were funded by Saudi charities and educated in radical Islamist schools around the world designed by Saudi clerics, as was Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, the Saudi American charged last week with plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush. Crown Prince Abdullah would have us believe that those days are over, and there is some evidence to support him. The Saudis launched a major campaign to roll up local al-Qaeda cells after terrorists brought the war home to Riyadh, attacking housing compounds and killing 34 on May 12, 2003. U.S. diplomats...
...four years have done little or nothing to apprehend those involved in such strikes - reacted energetically.

But Fatah?s Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militia denied involvement, as did Hamas. Suspicion fell on Hizballah, the Lebanese fundamentalist group, but on Saturday Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility. Palestinian observers say Islamic Jihad - which like Hizballah gets backing...

...LIBYA'S ALLEGED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE ABDULLAH WHY LIBYA REMAINS ON THE U.S. LIST OF TERRORIST STATES? We have a good relationship with Saudi Arabia. My personal relationship with Prince Abdullah is a good one. This is a fabricated case, an intentionally destructive thing. We see America paying so much attention to [Abdullah], as if he were its citizen. They have not learned from the past. The list of accusations against Libya is very long. They all proved false. We are still in a vicious circle...
