Times Staff and Wire Reports
Saudi Arabia’s interior minister, Prince Naif, criticized the Afghanistan bombing, saying the kingdom opposes terrorism but disapproves of the U.S. response.
“We wish the United States had been able to flush out the terrorists in Afghanistan without resorting to the current action . . . because this is killing innocent people,” the official Saudi Press Agency quoted him as saying. “We are not at all happy with the situation. This in no way means we are not willing to confront terrorism.”
