A statement purportedly from al Qaeda militants in Saudi Arabia warned today of new attacks
on US and Western airlines, installations and areas frequented by Westerners.
"All compounds, bases and means of transport, especially Western and American airlines, will be a direct target for our coming operations in the near future," said the statement, posted on an pro-al Qaeda site on the Internet.
It asked Muslims to keep away from Americans and Westerners and these locations.
