Saudi King slams intelligence leak
Sat, 22 May 2010 09:57:48 GMT

The King of Saudi Arabia has strongly criticized the country's intelligence officials for disclosing a secret document, which shows Riyadh has links with terrorist activities carried out by al-Qaeda in Iraq.

According to a report by Iraq's Buratha news agency on Friday, King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz ordered a special committee to investigate the intelligence leak and inform him about those liable in the case.

Some 37 members of Saudi's intelligence service, accused of being behind the leakage of the confidential document, were also reported to have been arrested.

The condemnation by the Saudi monarch comes as the Iraqi news agency disclosed the amount of money transferred by Saudi government officials to al-Qaeda in Iraq.

3. The source seems a bit....questionable.
Is this from Iran's state-run news outlet? "PressTV" seems pretty anti-Sunni/pro-Shia(not to mention anti-US/Israel).

Check out this poll from their homepage:

Who do you think is to blame for the 375 Shia Muslims who were killed in recent months in Iraq?

1. The anti-US terrorist groups

2. The US agents who seek to pressure the Iraqi government to extend their presence in the country

3. The pro-Saudi Salafis/Baathists

4. Both 2 and 3
