One of the things that Osama Bin Laden decreed early on in his campaign against the royal family was that the oil infrastructure of the country was a priceless jewel and not to be attacked. It looks like that has now changed. So has Bin Laden changed his mind? Have his successors? Or is the attack on a refinery in SA a sign that the central command has completely lost control of the situation and people are acting without control and without thinking through the consequences?
I'm sure this is one of the great questions the counter-intelligence interrogators are going after as a top priority.
