AQ Threat Reaction
CNN –
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said an al Qaeda threat last month to target Gulf oil terminals had resulted in stepped-up security and vigilance at Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura terminal, as well as a refinery in Bahrain.
Ras Tanura, just north of the Saudi oil capital of Dhahran, is the world’s largest offshore oil loading facility with a capacity of 6 million barrels per day.
