| The Saudi ruling family was said to be in disarray over facing the increasing threat to the kingdom by Al Qaida. Saudi analysts and opposition sources said the Al Qaida campaign against the kingdom has failed to unify rival factions in the royal family. They said Saudi leaders have been divided into a series of factions that have isolated Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz. "We are not seeing unity of the Saudi royal family," Mai Yamani, an associate fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, said. "They have not shown a united front in dealing with security issues or the question of reform in the country." On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia offered Al Qaida a one-month limited amnesty. Abdullah said in a televised address that Al Qaida supporters would be given a final chance to surrender. The Islamic insurgency movement was said to have a support network of up to 3,000 people in Saudi Arabia. |
