Militant network's security chief Saif al-Adel gave orders for the attack in the capital Riyadh by satellite phone.Al Qaeda ordered Saudi bombing from Iran: paper
(Updated at 1500 PST)
RIYADH: A senior al Qaeda militant orchestrated the bombing of a residential compound in Saudi Arabia earlier this month by telephone from Iran, a Saudi
newspaper claimed on Sunday.

The daily, quoting informed sources, said the militant network's security chief Saif al-Adel gave orders for the attack in the capital Riyadh by satellite phone. Neither Saudi nor Iranian officials were immediately available to comment on the report.

The sources said Saif al-Adel led the bombing operation of the Muhaya residential compound, using a Thuraya phone to give instructions to the terrorists in the kingdom who carried out the criminal operation, the Arabic-language daily said.

The sources said that the terrorist Saif al-Adel is in Iran, it added. The newspaper said Saif al-Adel fled to Iran with 500 al Qaeda members during the intensive U.S. bombing of Afghanistan in late 2001. It said they were detained by Iranian troops.
