Interior Minister Prince Nayef announced on Saturday that Saudi Arabia had prevented about 90 per cent of planned terror attacks planned against the kingdom.

"This is thanks to God and to detailed security effort and continuous tracking of terrorist cells," Interior Minister Prince Nayef told Al Hayat, a Saudi-owned Pan-Arab daily.

Saudi forces this week announced the arrest of 40 suspected militants and the seizure of a huge arms cache.

Eight people connected to a foiled attack on the world’s largest oil processing facility, were among the 40 arrested. On February 24 suicide bombers in two explosive laden cars attempted to enter the Abqaiq complex.

Nayef added that Saudi Arabia was working closely with the Iraqi government over the issue of Saudis who have joined the anti-American insurgency.

Those Saudis who do join the insurgency are typically used as "explosives or suicide bombers," Nayef told Al Hayat.

Although Saudi Arabia guards its border with Syria carefully the number of insurgents to have entered Iraq through Syria could be as high as 2,500.

You bet they're thwarting them, given Osama and his ilk have wanted to overthrow the Saudi government for years. Kind of ironic given the Saudis support all the madrassas and mosque building throughout the world to promote the same Wahabbist islamofascism dreck. It sounds more like they're concerned over who controls their brand of fascism rather than the message itself. In the end, they're all enemies of the West, regardless of how they try to control their own. Remember that.

Exactly! These rotters have been promoting this madness for years. I don't buy their BS for a second. Their scummy little roosters are flying home in flocks to roost.

Accepting this as general truth, your tagline provides comfort for us and instruction to our leaders. Following that doctrine, their poor attitudes should not bother nor really offend us. Their self-defeating spite for us could even be admired.

Of course no enemy of ours would particularly fear this pill-popping, Oprah-watching, celebrity-worshiping nation of Can't C*nts. And that's what we are, largely. That speaks volumes of the few select leaders we have who are still making gains in our favor, despite our collective ineptitude and constant cultural undermining from within.

Considering almost everyone we have heard about was amateur night at best I am not surprised. I call Bull$hit.

If they did this , it is because they are not worrying about who they are spying on .We all know what Osama wants the paki nukes and Saudi oil. Good work if true.
