not sure what to make of this but i saw this posted on another board and it may be relevant
News from the Saudi Border 7/25/2006 3:43:25 PM
I saw this go across the screen on Al Jazeera:
ÇáÕáíÈ ÇáÃÍãÑ íÞæá Åä ËãÉ ÞÑðì áÈäÇäíÉ áÇ ÊÕá ÅáíåÇ ÇáãÓÇÚÏÇÊ
"Saudi army and air force are on alert and many of the fighter jets have been moved to TABOUK in the north of the country."
That isn't an exact translation, I'm still learning my arabic so forgive me if I missed a word or two
Of course we need to consider the source (Al Jazerra), but any activation of military forces in the region needs to be monitored closely at this point
I think that's a garbled translation of this story:

The Saudis have F16's in Tabouk, and have said they intend to leave them there.
