Saudi Arabia and media campaign
Saudi Arabia, Politics, 10/13/2001

The French weekly TTA which is concerned with strategic news said that the Saudi security system, like all its counterparts in all Arab Gulf states which host huge communities from Pakistan and Afghanistan follow up closely these communities of fears that they will take part in revenge operations targeting the American interests, after Saudi Arabia has cut its relations with the Taliban movement.

The bulletin added that the Saudi ministry of the Interior directed the administrations concerned to facilitate administrative measures for the citizens of Afghanistan after closing their country's embassy and to provide necessary aids for those in need among them, noting that it seems all these reactions are linked to the aggression carried out in al-Khober city on October 6, just few hours from the US commencing of its strikes against Afghanistan.

The bulletin said that the attack which resulted in killing two peoples, one was an American, was a suicide act carried out by an Asian citizen, expected to be by the diplomatic sources as a Pakistani.

On the other hand, the bulletin said that among the questions urgently debated at the meantime is how to repel the campaign of accusations targeting Saudi Arabia and its relations to the extremist Islamic movements and that it is said that preparations are taken to launch a campaign aiming at explaining the Kingdom's stances and its efforts to fighting terrorism.

The bulletin said that all these coincide with pressures practices by Washington against the Gulf states, foremost being Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in order to limit activities of the Islamic charity societies which are considered by the US administrations as source of finance to extremist organizations.
