Sounds like Al Qaeda is either desperate (only able to work in the Middle East) or pissed off at Saudi Arabia...
Here's a side note:
Many people seem to believe that the only terrorists we need to worry about are Al Qaeda; but that is 'name-branding' terrorism. Al Qaeda was just the first to actually strike within our borders and do so severely enough to make the news. Actually, we have a number of domestic organizations perpetrating acts of terrorism. PETA, Sierra, ELF, KKK (and other white supremacist groups), LULAC, the Brown Berets, The New Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson's groups, and let's not forget people like ANSWER and Not in My Name; nor should we forget that political organization that can only campaign by telling people that they will lose their Social Security, their children and grandchildren will be either starved or poisoned, etc. if they vote for the other party.
Add to that that there are many Islamo-Facist organizations (Hamas, PLO, Islamic Jihad, etc.) not only in the Middle East, but around the world...the war on terrorism, like the war on drugs, will be lost if only half-measures are taken.
Don't forget the old Muslim? saying..."The enemy of my enemy is my friend.".
