Saudi Arabia arrested at least 172 Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists in a plot to attack oil facilities and military bases. It’s no surprise that some of the terrorists were trainee pilots. Saudi police seized weapons and more than 20 million riyals ($5.33 million) in cash, from seven armed cells, according to the Washington Post.

“Some had begun training on the use of weapons, and some were sent to other countries to study aviation in preparation to use them to carry out terrorist operations inside the kingdom,” the statement said.

“One of their main targets was to carry out suicide attacks against public figures and oil installations and to target military bases inside and outside (the country),”

Can you imagine what would happen had these terrorists been successful? We don’t know how far along in their planning they were, but damage to world markets, oil supplies, and yes Americans, could have been huge. Think for one minute about the $5.33 MILLION in cash these cells had. Where did that money come from? Can it be traced or tracked? What kind of operation did they have in mind that would cost them $5.33 million dollars? Were these suicide attacks they planned? If so, where was the money going, the terrorists would be yucking it up in heaven with their 72 virgins?

This has the smell of something BIG, really big, bigger than Saudi Arabia. I look forward to hearing more details about the terrorists, items in their possession and particularly their plans.
