Pretty funny how they always seem to know what's happening a few days before the plan commences. It appears our buddies in Britain are next for a
major attack.
People, deal with the Saudi's now or later? Your thoughts?
LONDON, England (CNN) � A plot by a suspected al Qaeda cell to target a British airliner was behind British Airways' decision Wednesday to
immediately suspend flights to Saudi Arabia, a Saudi official has said.
Adel al-Jubeir, foreign policy adviser for Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, told CNN the threat to the airline was uncovered during recent raids on
suspected al Qaeda terrorists in Saudi Arabia.
Among items seized in the raids were maps and documents that detailed the casing of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
"It was obvious that the target was a British airlines aircraft, and I believe British Airways made the decision on that basis to suspend
operations," al-Jubeir said.
