From The Guardian:

Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday.

Previously secret files describe how investigators were told they faced "another 7/7" and the loss of "British lives on British streets" if they pressed on with their inquiries and the Saudis carried out their threat to cut off intelligence.

Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to be the man behind the threats to hold back information about suicide bombers and terrorists.  He faces accusations that he himself took more than £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE.

Keep in mind that there is more to Saudi terror activity than this single threat.  To this day, Saudi funding props up Wahhabi missionaries and madrassahs and mosques worldwide.  Saudi Wahhabi funding backs what’s left of the jihad in Chechnya and continues to fund the jihadists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, not to mention Darfur.  Fifteen of the 9-11 19 were Saudi.  Wherever you find jihadist activity, chances are you’ll find Saudi petrodollars fueling it and Saudi personnel leading it.

Maybe Blair should’ve had ’em killed, or something... Or at least gone public with the story and frozen all Saudi assets in Britain.
