#1 A Rantburg post recently identified that the main target of that attack were Labonese Christian guest workers. Any colaboration on that?

If the AQ guys are in Iran they must be well financed (bribery and all). Would it not be in Irans best interests to have the SA Royals destabilized especially if the Royals have started to crack down on jihadies. AQ, being beholden to their Iranian hosts, would make the call but single out foreigners to keep the purity thing alive. AQ gets SA, Iran gets Iraqi oil and sort out the major details later.

The Victims of the Riyadh Bombing: Americans and Lebanese Christians

When asked about the recent bombing in Riyadh, Al-Hijazi referred to Saudi media reports â which claimed that in the attack Muslim women and children were killed â as "merely media deceit." He added: "This place was under surveillance for many months. Following a thorough investigation, it became perfectly clear to us that the people living there were at least 300 Americans and a large group of Lebanese Christians who had tortured Muslims there, in Lebanon, during the civil war. After consultation, we decided it was appropriate to attack this place and destroy it, including the people who lived there, because it housed Americans and a large majority of Christians holding Lebanese citizenship.
