#2 Strange how Jeddah has become an Al Qaeda hotspot of late. Saudis and those that have ever spent time there will tell you that the Western regions, especially around the Hijaz and Asir regions tend to be more liberal and less Wahhabist in outlook. Jeddah often is referred to as the most cosmo city in the KSA.

Perhaps Qaeda knows this and is taking advantage of it as a cover? Just a thought.

#3 As the most cosmopolitan city, it would be the most full of those things which irritate the kind of people who join Al Qaeda... and the Muttawa if they aren't as ambitious to change the world. I've no idea if that's the dynamic, but it's a possibility.
