| There has been bipartisan condemnation in the United States Congress of the Saudi Arabian Government’s efforts to stamp out terrorism. Some in the US believe Saudi Arabia is now facing more than a terrorist threat and is instead confronting a low level insurgency. Despite this, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Republican chairman Richard Luger says the Saudis continue to fund radical Islamic schools. "The Saudi Government funds the Madrass schools and out of these come young Saudis who join these militant organisations," he said. Democrat House leader Nancy Pilocey agrees. "I don’t know how many more acts of terrorism will have to happen for them to wake up," she said. The US embassy in Riyadh has renewed its call for US citizens to leave the kingdom. |
