| RIYADH, 9 November 2003 � Terrorists
struck in the heart of the capital late last night, the official Saudi

At least one, and perhaps as many as
three, explosions rocked a residential compound in western Riyadh.
Eyewitnesses reported one big explosion, followed by two smaller ones 15
seconds apart. Smoke could be seen rising from the area of the blast.
The streets were crowded when the blasts took place with late-night
