View on Khobar attack raises questions on motives and policy

It questions whether the strike sought to weaken the House of Saud or was an opportunistic act by local terrorists. The piece urges comprehensive strategies combining intelligence, policing, finance, and possible reevaluation of U.S.-Saudi ties amid rising jihadist threats.
