Al Qada tied to attacks in Saudi Arabia

A letter from Osama bin Laden found on a dead attacker and a phone call from his son tie the atacks in Saudi Arabia to al Qaeda.

This raises the question of how Saad bin Laden can make phone calls to cells in Saudi Arabia if he is in custody in Iran? Is he in custody or in a safe house?

"...Two days before the bombings, which killed 34 persons, including nine Americans and two Britons, Saad bin Laden made a telephone call from somewhere in Iran to a member of the same al Qaeda gang, according to a high-ranking Western diplomat who spoke on the condition that he not be identified."

"...Investigators, meanwhile, have disclosed that British Airways (BA) halted flights to the kingdom last week after Saudi authorities learned of a plot to shoot down one of its planes with a missile. The scheme is believed to have been the work of the same wide network, directed by Osama bin Laden and other close associates, including Saad bin Laden, to which the Riyadh gang belonged."

"...The attack was foiled when a Saudi police special unit ambushed a group of 10 terrorism suspects who had escaped a shootout in Riyadh the night before. Three Saudi officers died in the second operation and five of the suspects were captured.

"Details of the planned missile attack were found in documents in a car used by the gang, and BA announced it was suspending flights to Saudi Arabia the following day."
