172 Militants Planning Attack On Saudi Oil Fields Arrested
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Police have arrested 172 militants who were plotting to attack Saudi Arabia's oil fields, storm its prisons to free the inmates and use aircraft in their attacks, the Interior Ministry said in a statement Friday.
The militants planned to carry out suicide attacks against "public figures, oil facilities, refineries ... and military zones." The statement said some of the military targets were outside the kingdom, but it did not elaborate.
Some of the militants were being trained to fly aircraft in their attacks, the statement added, raising the spectre of more attacks like Sept. 11, 2001 in which Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked passenger planes and flew them into buildings in New York and Washington.
These militants had been "sent to other countries to study flying in preparation for using them to carry out terrorist attacks inside the kingdom," the statement said.
The Saudi state TV channel Al-Ekhbariah broadcast footage of a large quantity of weapons discovered buried in the desert. The arms included AK-47 rifles and other rifles, brickettes of plastic explosives, AK-47 magazines, handguns and rifles wrapped in plastic sheeting.
The Saudi's created this monster and now they are unable to control it. Wahhabism is the "reform" of the Islamic religion. It's the religion that creates animals like Osama Bin Laden. The Saudi's have actively spread this religion to other parts of the world, including the United States. They spend millions of dollars per year on literature and building mosques for this extremist religion.
