From Times Wire Reports
Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah vowed to hunt down militants for “decades” if necessary, and warned Saudis not to sympathize with the attackers who are bent on toppling the ruling family.
“By the will of God, we will track down these people however long it takes -- 20 years, 30 years, decades or even more,” the kingdom’s de facto ruler said.
“We cannot be lenient with this deviant faction,” he said.
Abdullah’s remarks come a week after militants killed five Westerners in an attack on a petrochemical plant in the Red Sea city of Yanbu.
