| Saudi newspapers reported Sunday government officials said they have recently aborted major terrorist attacks planned in the oil-rich kingdom. The papers quoted Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz as saying, "We have foiled many planned operations that we will reveal later," adding the attacks would have been "much worse" than those that were carried out. Nayef said the publicized crackdowns on suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida "constitute only five to six percent of those killed and what was aborted." He vowed the government would continue its campaign to fight terrorism "until the kingdom is free of all sources of evil and harm." |
