The Shehhi tribe of the impoverished southwestern province of Asir had provided some of the 10,000 fighters in the Afghan war against the Soviets. Many remained to fight alongside Osama bin Laden, who is virulently opposed to U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia. Variants of the name al-Shehhi are readily evident...
