Saudi suicide attacks planned against oil

Can America really leave Iraq if the U.S. is foreign oil dependant?

The BBC is reporting that Saudi Arabia has arrested a bunch of "militants" whom were planning "militant" attacks against Saudi Arabian oil interests, amongst other targets.

"Interior ministry spokesman Gen Mansur al-Turki said the suspects were "linked to foreign elements... not necessarily directly to al-Qaeda, but you know, there are many al-Qaeda and terrorism activities going on".

"The deviant group... takes advantage of trouble spots outside the kingdom in planning, recruitment and training," Gen Turki said, apparently referring to Iraq.

He added: "Some individuals were training to fly to carry out terrorist attacks... Some of the cells arrested planned to target oil installations and refineries."

So, the next time someone calls you a treehugger for driving a Prius or other hybrid vehicle, tell 'em you bought the hybrid vehicle to fight foreign oil dependency, and ask them what they are doing to help the cause.
