AL QAEDA DOWN TO SECOND STRINGERS?

Al Qaeda has announced it will continue to attack Saudi oil infrastructure following the recent, apparently inept, foiled attack. Whereas it's highly likely one of these attacks will eventually succeed, it could be that ruthless Saudi counter-terrorism tactics are depriving al Qaeda of cannon fodder:

Saudi security forces have largely had al-Qaida's branch in the kingdom on the run over the past year, arresting hundreds of suspects. They killed or captured all but one of the top 26 militants on a most-wanted list issued in December 2003, then did the same with 10 of the 15 on a second list issued in June.

List 'em and kill 'em; now there's a tactic to warm your heart.
