This bit just came in over Stratfor Site Reps:

0116 GMT - Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry said Aug. 26 that authorities have arrested 28 people since the Aug. 18 raid that killed local al Qaeda leader Saleh al-Oufi. Al Arabiya television also aired footage of Saudi special forces engaged in firefights with militants and destroying buildings where militants were believed to be hiding. The Interior Ministry said the arrests prevented attacks inside the kingdom.

Hokay, you're watching Al Arabiya, you can hear the gunfire and explosions in the distance. How can you know that the special forces are not zealots in uniform driving stolen police cruisers demolishing buildings where the security forces dwell?

But it's not war, and I'm not short crude, WHEW
