AL QAEDA BLAMED IN DEADLY ATTACK ON SAUDI HOMES

Article Abstract:

Victims of the terrorist attack against an Arab neighborhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia now include 17 dead and 122 wounded. Deputy Sec. of State Richard Armitage observed that the pattern of the attack bears similarities to other Al Qaeda terrorist operations. This bombing follows the attack in May that killed 34 in Riyadh, eight of whom were Americans. It is believed that Al Qaeda wants to continue attacks to discourage influences in Saudi Arabia that represent less than strict, radical adherence to Islam.

Suicide Bombers in Baghdad Kill at Least 34

Article Abstract:

Baghdad began the first day of Ramadan with five suicide bombings that killed 34 and injured over 200 individuals. The attacks were well coordinated over a 45-minute period, and included the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Although there were no US targets, it appeared the bombers wanted to warn Iraqis not to cooperate with or support American efforts in Iraq.
