I thought the Saudi's didn't have a terrorist problem?
They start this "amnesty program" and AQ starts falling
like domino's....

"2005 GMT - Abdullah Mohammed Rashid al-Rushoud, listed among Saudi Arabia's top 26 al Qaeda suspects, has been killed in a shootout with Saudi police, according to an anonymous official. Police clashed with suspected militants in Riyadh's al-Quds neighborhood at 3:30 p.m. local time. One policeman and another militant were killed. A third militant managed to escape"

1839 GMT - A newsletter from an al Qaeda group in Saudi Arabia published on an Islamist Web site claimed that the offer of amnesty by the Saudi government to militants would be an "utter failure." The newsletter, named Muaskar al-Battar, is published every two weeks. The announcement comes only a few days after two operatives linked to al Qaeda surrendered to Saudi authorities.

"1205 GMT - The first Saudi militant to surrender under the government's amnesty program appeared on state television to apologize for his actions. "Being wrong is difficult and admitting ones mistakes is a virtue," said Saaban al-Shihri, who is suspected of providing al Qaeda-linked militants with logistical support."

.. amazing !
