Al-Qaida operative warned of Saudi attacks

An al-Qaida commander warned the terror network was about to stage major attacks in Saudi Arabia in an e-mail just a day before the deadly suicide bombings in Riyadh, an Arab magazine has reported.

The man, who identified himself as Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj, wrote in an e-mail on Sunday to the London-based Al-Majalla magazine that al-Qaida has stored arms and explosives and set up “martyrdom” squads in Saudi Arabia.
