...Police rarely had occasion to flip on their sirens, much less draw their guns. If they sought someone for arrest, they did so discreetly, using family and tribal ties to track down a person rather than put out a wanted poster, which might alarm the public and scandalize the suspect's clan...
...down easily. In those sweeps, 11 Saudi security officials have died. The four members of an al-Qaeda unit, cornered in a house in the al-Jouf region, chose to bind themselves together and blow themselves up with hand grenades rather than get caught. In a number of raids, suspects managed to get away: at least two broke out of a safe house under surveillance, 10 escaped from another hideaway when police approached, and seven slipped through a police cordon during a five-hour gun battle in Riyadh. One arrest suggested al-Qaeda may have penetrated Saudi security forces...
Also, the Saudis have offered only "selective cooperation" on the financial front, according to a senior U.S. official. A former Bush Administration official says the Saudis generally insist on knowing everything the Americans know before moving against a suspect. U.S. investigators, he says, sometimes suspect that the Saudis are fishing, trying to ferret out details of U.S. intelligence, or stalling, to protect Saudi individuals from embarrassment. One of the Administration's top counterterrorism officials says the Saudis still appear to be protecting charities associated with the royal family and its friends. He says the bank records of a charity suspected...
...deprived Khalifa affiliates in Europe. One week later, the Bank of Algeria appointed administrators to oversee El Khalifa Bank's operations, citing multiple "irregularities." Khalifa's rapid access to suspiciously abundant capital and his habit of hiring unqualified family members of Algeria's ruling class led many observers to suspect another agenda. As early as last October, for example, a leaked French intelligence report estimated the conglomerate's annual losses at about €500 million and fueled suspicions that Khalifa's empire had been assembled with - and used to launder - money embezzled by corrupt officials in Algeria's military-backed...
...everywhere have been alienated. And real threats, such as al Qaeda, North Korea and the Taliban have been ignored. And perhaps most recklessly of all, Bush has blunted America’s ability to utilize the threat of force by rendering it meaningless. Like a prosecutor trying a murder suspect, Bush asked Saddam for a plea bargain—cooperate with U.N. inspectors, and we might not invade. But even after Saddam admitted the inspectors and Chief U.N. Weapons Inspector Hans Blix begged for more time, Bush still went for the death penalty, and our international credibility was trashed...
