		Since the release of the men from a Saudi Arabian jail last summer, it's emerged that the Saudis were secretly using them as pawns in a bigger game - a game that for two of the men almost ended in a terrible death.
		Islamic extremists devastated western compounds in Riyadh, and even the Saudis could no longer pretend that the only acts of terrorism in their country were carried out by a handful of British expatriates.
		But the Saudis made it clear that it was just a pardon and as far as they were concerned the men were still guilty.

		Various Saudi authorities have blamed al Qaeda, a Saudi fugitive who was believed to be in London, "Zionists" and other "external elements."
