BERLIN, April 27 -- Saudi Arabia said Friday that it had arrested 172 suspected terrorists over the past several months from a network that was planning suicide attacks -- including the use of airplanes -- on the kingdom's oil industry, military installations and other targets.
Saudi officials said some of the suspects had trained next door in Iraq and had returned to the kingdom to plot the attacks. Also among the targets were high-ranking members of the royal family and the Saudi security forces, officials said.

...and the decline of the Arab culture continues......
How many of these suicide bombing terrorists could have been astronomers or mathamaticians? Could have contributed to society. Instead we spend the vast majority of our gross national product on fighting terrorism instead of exploring space, teaching our children or any of the other postitive things we could be doing with or money, time and energy.
