If we are to believe the Guardian, the BBC (and MI6, who runs them both), the Saudi Arabian government prefers to arrest, torture and behead innocent British subjects for terrorist bombings, rather than troubling the real culprits, who must surely be bearded Muslim fanatics. As with the 911 attack, what really happened is, as usual, very different. Read how Sir Derek Plumbly, and other Foreign Office officials, co-ordinated the murder and maiming of innocent British subjects, while deceiving the bereaved families, and the surviving victims.
The Saudi government had announced a plan to raise a billion dollars to support the Palestinian Intifada. The Intifada had been provoked by a visit paid to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem by the hated Ariel Sharon with four hundred armed soldiers. This visit trashed what was left of the Democrats· foreign policy record, and in a close-run Presidential election helped the Bush ticket into the White House, while ensuring the downfall of Barak so that Sharon could take charge and form the seamless partnership with the Bush administration that continued right up until 911. In announcing the pledge to raise one billion dollars, the Saudis knew that they would be paying the lion's share, since few of the other Arab countries were able or willing to chip in significant sums. The prospect of Saudi millions made the Al-Aqsa Intifada a much more serious problem: now that the stone-throwing had served Sharon's purpose, how could it be stopped if the Saudi millions were going to feed it (and the families of thousands of Palestinians)? How could the Saudi government be brought back on side?
Somewhere it was decided that a 'pro-Palestinian terrorist organization' had to be created at short notice in Saudi Arabia - one that would carry out an 'anti-Western' bombing campaign ·and would persuade the Saudi government that support for the Palestinians had got out of hand and a new crack-down was needed. Such a changed political environment would drive a wedge between the Saudi goverment and the country's militant pro-Palestinian lobby, thus making the government's largesse superfluous.

This is unfortunately the major problem or flaw in all Secret Intelligence Services. They can and do get away with murder and probably a lot worse things too. Shysters (German slang for something appromixating #-head I believe) are shy and like to operate in shadows thereby robbing the rest of the world a insight into what they are really up to. When people get Knighted and suchlike after years of service one can only guess where the orders are really coming from....
I have no problem with a country having a secret service. I have major problems with the fact that their actions remain secret. Everything should be accountable to the people, including the personal finances of royalty.

I urge the OP to present a thread that explains the whole situation If he wants us to appreciate his "full answer.".

It's relative because 911 was orchestrated to combat the Saudi's giving so much money to this group, from what I can see. And maybe it's for the best, what would a Palestine Terrorist group do with 1 billion? Wipe out Israel, and the USA needs Israel. Remember the Israeli company who's white vans are on CCTV the morning before 911 occurred? Seems Israel had it's reasons to be involved too...edit on 27-4-2012 by chaakin because: (no reason given)

I suggest one correction to your words above. You say "Wipe out Israel, and the USA needs Israel."
That is should be the other way around, Israel would have the most to lose and their continued antics seem to indicate that they won't stop short of what they desire. That makes more sense in understanding the gist of the OP.edit on 27-4-2012 by Aliensun because: (no reason given)
