Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has threatened attacks to follow a failed August suicide bomb that targeted the deputy interior minister,
Agence France-Presse
reported 22 September. In a video posted online, leader Abu Baseer al Wuhayshi said: "By Allah, they will climb your walls and will come to you from where you do not expect."
This is the portent of another Saudi crackdown. The so-called sophistication of the Islamic extremists in using the Web also tends to place a bull’s eye on their foreheads, at least in Saudi Arabia. The irony of Saudi Arabia is similar to the US in that some people who benefit most from the protections of the state openly advocate the destruction of that state. That is suicidal and insane... it is also tiresomely trite in the history of revolutions.
