Saudi Arabia: Iraq a Major Terror Base

Wasn't untill you got your war in Iraq, by the way what nationality, where 15 of the so called 9/11 hijakers? Saudi Arabian I think. I am right arn't I?

Saudi Arabia's interior minister on Sunday called Iraq a major base for terrorism, a sign of growing alarm over the neighboring country where U.S. forces are struggling to prevent Sunni-Shiite violence from escalating into full-scale civil war.

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif said the situation in Iraq is deteriorating daily and the country has become a threat to the whole region.

``There is no doubt that Iraq now forms a main base for terrorism,'' he told the pan-Arab Al-Arabiya television station in the capital Riyadh.

The minister also said Saudi youth were being lured to fight in Iraq. U.S. and Iraqi officials have long complained about Saudi extremists crossing into Iraq to join the battle against American and coalition forces. U.S. officials announced last April that Saudis were one of the top five nationalities among foreign fighters captured by coalition forces in Iraq.
