Hijackers got visas in Saudi Arabia

Oct. 31 — Fifteen of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11 attacks obtained U.S. visas in Saudi Arabia, where most citizens seeking to visit the United States are quickly approved without interviews, American officials said yesterday.

In contrast,

Today's Saudi Arabia has held on to its mystique by being incredibly difficult to visit - there's no such thing as a tourist visa in this country. But if you can find someone to sponsor you or decide to take an expensive 'approved' tour, it's worth coming here for the desert and mountain scenery, and some of the Middle East's best archaeological sites. And, of course, there's the fascinating spectacle of a society juggling deeply conservative religious beliefs and oil-boom modernity.
