The Jerusalem Post is carrying this AP story today:
Report: Saudis arrest kingdom’s top terroristSaudi police reportedly arrested the kingdom’s most wanted terrorist on Thursday, according to pan-Arab satellite TV station Al-Arabiya.
The Saudi-owned station reported late Thursday that police captured Faris Ahmed Jamaan al-Showeel al-Zahrani in Abha, a town 800 kilometers (497 miles) southwest of the capital, Riyadh.

Hehe
When President Bush said that anyone who supports terrorism is also as guilty than the number one terrorist must be the saudi crown prince. Blaming all the islamic jihad attrocities on Zionists is doing just as much to fan the flames of extremism as the money that saudis have pumped into islamic jihad terrorist organisations.
It’s a tricky situation with the Saud’s. On one hand they have promoted Wahabism and radical Islam. On the other hand they seem better than the alternative of a radical Islamic state. Either way having 150,000 american troops on their border should help keep them in line.
I think it’s like getting a fishing lisence. It’s all part of their “catch and release” program.
