It is hard to believe that the attacks in Riyadh could have been pulled off without some inside help from secret police or military personnel. To put it in perspective, though, the Riyadh attacks did not result in as many casualties as some others have (9/11!). Morocco is another matter. There are a lot of Moslem countries as likely or unlikely to suffer attack as they. I would expect something in Egypt, Jordan or Turkey in response to the Iraq war.
