TERROR UNABATED

TERROR UNABATED
So it appears that some Arab media are starting to condemn this week's terror attacks in Saudi Arabia. This probably reflects the new realities on the ground following the success of Iraqi Freedom. Here’s a noteworthy conclusion: Several observers say that the attackers are aiming at nothing less than taking power in Saudi Arabia. Many observes in the west have been making exactly that point for a long time and it appears that the reality is starting to sink in, finally. Yet, it does not give us any reason for comfort yet, especially on a day when it became evident that the missing tourists in Algeria where indeed kidnapped by Islamic extremists (and 14 remain missing), when two female suicide bombers in Chechnya kill 30 during a religious ceremony and the Saudi government is not exactly giving us a lot of help in investigating the Riyadh bombings. While there have been encouraging developments recently, the reality is that we have long way to go in ridding this world of terror networks and their sponsors.
