As I understand it, the Saudi royal family is hated by many Arabs and many Muslims; in some cases, this hatred is a white-hot passion. I think it has something to do with the Sunni-Shia conflict, but there may be other reasons too.
Of course, it could also be a false-flag op, or the story could be BS, a casus belli fabricated by SA. Impossible to know.
What I do know is that it's hard to imagine a fate more grim than to be captured in Saudi Arabia and accused of trying to blow up the Grand Mosque.
And that, my FRiend, is why OBL and his Saudi cohorts struck at the puppet master on 9/11...
George Bush the elder turned our voluntary military, sworn to defend the Constitution, into the praetorian guard of foreign kings. We've paid a tremendous price in thousands dead, tens of thousands maimed, and literally trillions of dollars squandered, and gained exactly what in the exchange? A few billion in contracts to our MIC? It's madness, and I naively thought I was voting to end it last November. Jokes on me...
