there is proof of financial connections from wealthy Saudis running through Saudi backs to "firms" that are fronts for Al Qaeda. There is also evidence of Saudi government money, coming from Saudi princes, financing Wahhabi Mullahs in this country and elsewhere. I think if you search for it you can find some good articles. I read two excellent articles about this last year, but I don't remember where I read them. I cannot blame the Saudis, the last think they want is a Wahhabi style Iran type revolution, and they are simply trying to appease the militant Wahhabi factions. But, IMO, they are in mighty deep with Al Qaeda. Deeper than Afghanistan was, IMO, since most of the money for Al Qaeda comes from Saudis through Saudi Arabia.
