WMR - “Hundreds Face Saudi Terror Trials”

I already posted my WMR, but I just found this really interesting article on the CNN website “Hundres Face Saudi Terror Trials” http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/10/21/saudi.terror.trials/index.html

Here is the CNN Story Summary:

  • “991 suspects were rounded up in anti-terror raids
  • Rights group asks Saudi govt. for permission to send observers to the trials
  • Says some of those arrested in sweeps have little or no ties to terrorist groups
  • Saudi Arabia does not have written criminal law to to deal with terrorism offenses”

    • All of the suspects are accused of having links with Al-Queda. Since 2004, Al-Queda has worked to attack the oil industry in Saudi Arabia.
