But the SAGIA chairman said this was by no means satisfactory in a market the size of Saudi Arabia, and he blamed "blimps" from the bureaucracy for hampering privatization despite the fact that it was sanctioned by the highest levels of government.
Bin Faisal said the legislation needed to encourage privatization and foreign investment was also coming in at a snail's pace.
The investment boss said the slowness of privatization was more of an impediment to investment than political factors such as the high tension that preceded and accompanied the US-led war on Iraq launched in March.

 Bin Laden 'still commanding attacks' - Breaking News - World - Breaking News
Turki said some al-Qaeda groups operated autonomously because they were in places where it was difficult to communicate with al-Qaeda's central command.
Turki's former role as Saudi foreign intelligence chief brought him into contact with bin Laden when both the US and Saudi Arabia were supporting Arab mujahideen (freedom fighters) fighting Soviet occupation forces in Afghanistan.
Turki said bin Laden and his followers have violated the teachings of Islam, but anger in the Muslim community over the war in Iraq and the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict made it easy for him to attract people to al-Qaeda.

Over the past decade, Prince Turki said, he and other senior Saudi officials had "countless times" sought American support for what he portrayed as a workable approach to ousting the Iraqi leader, in which the only American role would be to prevent Iraq from using its air forces against its opponents.
