ABU DHABI — For the first time, Saudi Arabia has detailed allegations that Iran was serving as a base for Al Qaida.
Saudi authorities have released information that accused Iran of hosting the Al Qaida leadership for nearly a decade. Officials said Iran has been used to plan and finance Al Qaida attacks on the Saudi kingdom and other Gulf Cooperation Council states.
"We had long hoped that Iran would stop harboring these terrorists, but we have been disappointed again and again," an official said.
