There are innumerable sleeper cells in Saudi Arabia that have been keeping the international jihadi terrorist movement sustained through the injection of funds, volunteers for suicide missions and other means.

The success of these sleeper cells speaks of local support - in the general populace as well as in the intelligence agencies and the security forces.

I would like to see the author's 'source' in support of some of these statements.

It was not that long ago (several years ?) that there was a series of articles on the the source of the extremists within Saudi.

And they all were coming from the desert tribes, literally, the camel brigade - out in the desert.

All recruits were young and had the proper mentality - pissed off at life for living in the desert, I guess.

I would hardly call that "local support" and "general populace" material.

Many of the countries that border Saudi Arabia are not fond of the Saudis. In fact, they detest their heavy handed ways.

However, if the U.S.("great Satan") goes after Saudi, it could unite the Arab world since Saudi is the seat of their Holy Mecca.
