Could have been much worse. Saudi authorities have been successful the past week at stopping mass carnage.

…
CNN) – At least nine people have been killed and 125 wounded in a suicide bombing outside the Saudi General Security Building in the capital, Riyadh, hospital sources say.

Television pictures from the scene showed the entire front of the five-story building had been shattered. Burned-out and damaged cars littered the area.

At the time of the blast, the building would have been filled with workers, but there was no official word from the Saudi government on the number of casualties.

A senior Interior Ministry official said that authorities, tipped off that six explosions had been planned, found and defused five of the bombs.

Khaled Al Maeena, editor-in-chief of the English-language Arab News, told CNN’s American Morning that windows were blown out of houses a half mile from Al-Washim Street in the al-Nassiriyah neighborhood, where the explosion was centered.

The area is also near the Saudi Information Ministry and the headquarters for the security forces who guard the Saudi royal family.

Truck bombs defused

On Tuesday, Saudi security forces defused two truck bombs outside Riyadh, a security source said, bringing the number of car bombs seized in the kingdom to five within a week.

The vehicles were discovered late Monday at Shuaib Juraidal in Rumhiyah village, 56 miles (90 kilometers) east of Riyadh.

After the two vehicles were found, security forces and helicopters searched the area for armed men, who fled the area in a Jeep, residents told Arab News.

On Sunday, an Interior Ministry official announced the arrest of eight suspects linked to recent deadly clashes with security forces and car bombs. (Full story)

The Saudi Press Agency quoted the official giving details of three seized vehicles packed with thousands of pounds of explosives, including one vehicle authorities had been searching for since February.

Saudi police set up several checkpoints in Riyadh.

This is crazy. Wake up all the Muslims, lets get united and say it with one voice, We do not support killing of innocents. We will not tolerate these fundamentalists hijacking our religion and bringing shame and embarassment to all muslims across the world.

Lets find them and put them under.

security services are legitimate targets in a war..alqaeda has declared war on saudis, i personaly do not feel that the evidence against saudis is justified to declare them kafir and make their blood halal, but in a war, security apparatus is legitimate target..so its a war...

if we are going to observe the ettiquettes of war, lets observe them all and all the time. The fact that these bizzatches have targetted civilians before shows that they couldn't care less.
