...Qaeda operatives. Washington was unimpressed, demanding proof and alleging that last week's al-Qaeda bombings in Saudi Arabia may have been orchestrated from Iran. More tantalizing, perhaps, are reports that Tehran has told the Australian government that Iran has arrested al-Qaeda's Number 3 man, Saif al-Adel - a possible suspect in the Riyadh bombings - and plans to deport him to his native Egypt, where he could be arrested by the U.S. Handing over key al-Qaeda suspects would certainly give greater credence to Tehran's claim to be helping the global crackdown on bin Laden's movement...
...Afghanistan in the 1980s and to have forged there the ideological and personal links that have sustained al-Qaeda's strain of terrorism ever since.

SAUDI ARABIA Getting Tough Foreign affairs adviser Adel al-Jubeir announced a series of measures to prevent Saudi charities from inadvertently funding terrorists. The new measures, such as money-laundering filters and auditing the accounts of Islamic charities, follow U.S. criticism that Saudi authorities were not doing enough to stem the flow of funds to radical groups.

...Adel al-Jubeir struck a slight, plaintive figure as he stood before a crowded Washington press conference this week to plead for understanding. "We believe that our country has been unfairly maligned," the balding, soft-spoken man told the assembled reporters. "We believe that we have been subjected to criticism that we do not deserve." For his role serving as chief spin-doctor for the Saudi government at a time when it's fighting a PR battle to convince America of its bona fides as an anti-terror ally amid a relentless torrent of skepticism, Adel al-Jubeir...
