"Saudi Arabia has been staving off civil war and revolution for years. Many organizations exist in Europe and around the world with the agenda to over throw the Kingdom." >>> Well, when you are running a repressive Monarchy that siphons-off about 1/3 of the nation's income into the royal family coffers... 'ya gotta expect some opposition to that! "In addition there is support for Al Quaida and Al Quaida types among some groups within Saudi. It is fairly underground and not state sanctioned." >>> Actually, there is a split within the family (that's why they are keeping the King on life support) with one faction very pro Theocracy and radical Islam... and the other faction considered more 'pro Western'. The radical faction has been sending massive funds to Islamic fundamentalists, so there ARE direct ties to terrorist activities from within the government.
