Haven't gotten lucky enough yet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4747488.stm Saudi security forces have foiled an apparent suicide car bomb attack on a major oil production facility in the eastern town of Abqaiq. http://counterterror.typepad.com/the_counterterrorism_blog/2006/02/terrorists_atta.html http://counterterror.typepad.com/the_counterterrorism_blog/2006/03/alqaida_in_saud_1.html

Al-Qaida in Saudi Resurfaces with Martyrdom Video of Abqaiq Mastermind Fahd al-Farraj

On March 15, Al-Qaida's Committee in the Arabian Peninsula released the first edition of a new video series titled "Blood that will never be forgotten" commemorating its "martyred" operatives in Saudi Arabia.

This first edition, subtitled "The Battle of Al-Yarmuk District in Eastern Riyadh" featured the recorded will of Al-Qaida commander Fahd bin Farraj al-Juwair al-Farraj, who headed the organization at the time of his death. Al-Farraj—one of the original participants at the notorious Al-Battar training camp inside Saudi Arabia during 2002-2003—was also named by Al-Qaida as the mastermind behind the failed February 2006 suicide bomb attack on a major oil refinery in the eastern Saudi town of Abqaiq. On February 27, only days after the clash at Abqaiq, al-Farraj was killed in a shootout with Saudi police in an affluent section of the capital Riyadh.
