Anyone been following CNN this evening/morning/afternoon?

The Riyahd bomb just showed that al Qa'ida aren't beyond placing Semtex anywhere! Cargo aircraft are extremely vulnerable, as are all aer-e-ospace vehicles.

The fact that the terrorists are now targeting ex-pat Arabs in "the land of the two holy mosques" ought to make ALL of us a bit more aware of security around our trusty steeds.

If this was a case of mistaken identity (CNN mentioned the compound used to be Boeing), then al Qa'ida really needs to update their Intel......but CNN noting that a single 747 holds more fuel than all four 911 airplanes, certainly doesn't help. BTW, that doesn't quite add up.
