Ok buddy......try this for starters. Hope no-one is flying into Mecca with a load of pax for Ramadan. If so, I suggest you depart ASAP. Don't think cricket is a sport that the jihadis take into consideration.....mate!!

Saudi Minister: Al Qaeda planned to kill Mecca pilgrims during Ramadan
04-11-2003, 09:27


Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda activists were plotting to kill Muslim pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca during the fasting month of Ramadan, the Saudi Interior Minister said after security forces shot dead two "terrorists".

All eight members of an Islamist cell smashed in Mecca on Monday were from the al-Qaeda network, Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz told Al-Riyadh Tuesday.

"Undoubtedly, they all belong to the same movement and follow the same tactics," the minister said when asked if the cell was linked to al-Qaeda which the Saudi authorities blamed for killing 35 people in Riyadh in May.

"They targeted the month of Ramadan ... when the Saudi and non-Saudi faithful gather" in Mecca for the umrah or minor pilgrimage, he said. Two members of the cell surrendered and four others were captured, one with wounds, after a shootout, Nayef added. (Albawaba.com)
