More reassuring news from the Arabian peninsula

Interesting to see that the apparent new head of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia is a former Saudi police officer. After being with the police he went and fought the holy war in Afghanistan and Bosnia. They are very concerned about his since he will know a lot about police tactics. I suppose if one were more optimistic than I am one could see progress here. At least he isn't a current Saudi police officer and the head of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia.
