Interior Minister Prince Naif has warned that Saudi Arabia will take strong action against religious leaders who instigate violence and terrorism here in the Kingdom. âWe will not remain idle and watch certain religious figures who instigate violence by issuing edicts branding certain people as âinfidelsâ,â the prince said.
| We'll believe that when we see you cut a few holy men's heads off... |
Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, the minister added: âWe will hold them responsible for their words and deeds.â Prince Naif also warned people who try to justify the terrorist attacks in Riyadh that killed at least 34 innocent people, including seven Saudis. âWe will not just stand here and fold our arms. We will deal with them with an iron fist to establish truth and justice,â the prince said.

The interior minister said the Kingdom had stepped up security to foil future attempts to undermine the country. âThere will be inspections of any suspect cars at the entry and exit points of cities,â he said. Prince Naif confirmed that one of the 19 terrorist suspects, Ali Abdul Rahman Al-Ghamdi, had surrendered to security authorities. He emphasized the role of foreign hands in Mondayâs attacks. âForeign hands supported the attacks. This is clear from the identity of the terrorists who have received training in Afghanistan from Al-Qaeda,â he said.
| Uhuh. It was Soddies, sure, but they were egged on by furriners. Can we see a Soddy invasion of Afghanistan now? Didn't think so. How about just cutting off the money supply? |
Prince Naif said he was not sure whether the perpetrators of the four bombings in Riyadh were the same 19 Al-Qaeda suspects discovered last week. He said the attackers had used three or four vehicles to carry out the suicide bombings. âIn one car, we saw three charred bodies,â he said.
| Decided to get their flat-chested 12-year-olds all together, huh? Well, at least they're dead... |
Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said yesterday that the Kingdom would make Al-Qaeda pay for suicide bombings and would hunt down the masterminds. Addressing a press conference in Riyadh, the Saudi chief diplomat reiterated the Kingdomâs determination to fight the terrorists and their supporters. âWhoever did this will regret it because they have galvanized this countryâs determination to extract this cancer (terrorism) and ensure that it doesnât return,â the prince said.
