	Lebanonwire.com \| Qaeda still a threat to Saudi, but losing steam: analysts
		Friday's attempt to blow up the Abqaiq plant in the oil-rich Eastern Province with two car bombs "is a message that we need to be careful" about the continuing terror threat, Sheikh Mohsen al-Awaji, a moderate Islamist, told AFP.
		Awaji said bin Laden's followers had "no significant support whatsoever (in the country) compared to the situation two years ago," because they committed mistakes, chiefly by "targeting their own people."
		While Al-Qaeda may be losing ground in Saudi Arabia, the eventual return of militants now fighting in Iraq to the kingdom could change the situation, much as the return of Saudi "mujahedeen" who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s was a key factor in the creation of Al-Qaeda.
