BERLIN: German secret services have been conducting surveillance of Saudi diplomatic missions and other Saudi interests in the country amid suspicions that the rich Gulf Arab kingdom is supporting terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda, newspaper Der Spiegel said.
| Oh, really? Wonder why they'd ever do a thing like that? |
The revelation comes after a US congressional report last month that raised questions about Saudi Arabia’s role in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, which were blamed on Al Qaeda. Previously, such missions were not monitored because Saudi Arabia was considered a partner of Germany, the magazine added in its edition due to appear on Monday. But Berlin now ranks Saudi Arabia along with Syria as among the countries considered to present a militant Islamic threat, it said.
| See that? "European" isn't a synonym for "dumbass." |
