Saudis Blame Exiles, Zionists for Terror Attack
Tuesday, May 04, 2004
Associated Press
...Saudi officials have blamed various interests for the attacks.
Interior Minister Prince Nayef said early Tuesday in Kuwait that Al Qaeda terror network was likely behind it. But his ministry's statement linked it to Saudi exiles in London and the Saudi Cabinet blamed only "external forces" interested in spreading chaos.
Crown Prince Abdullah also has blamed "Zionism" for being behind the attacks.
