According to Saudi intelligence, police arrested 172 militants who were plotting a deadly terrorist attacks against Saudi oil fields and the Saudi royal family. Police seized weapons, explosives and evidence that the terrorists were receiving flight training and planned on raiding a prison to free other militants. Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki stated, "they had reached an advance stage of readiness and what remained only was to set the zero hour for their attacks". Saudi officials also stated that the suspects were mostly Saudis and they had been "influenced by the deviant ideology”, referring to Islamic extremism.
The leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, stated he ordered the attacks to cripple the Saudis control on oil production, thus weakening the Saudi economy and placing a premium on oil for the United States. Make no mistake, the enemy knows our weaknesses. By attacking Saudi oil fields, the enemy will not have to confront our military and can deliver a devastating blow to the US from the flanks of the war. If a coordinated attack is accomplished on Saudi oil fields and against the royal family you can rest assured that the price per gallon will soar over $10 per gallon, stability will shatter in the Middle East and we will forever be ensnared in war.
