2 Dead as Suicide Bombings Shake Riyadh; al-Qaida Blamed

[muchacho]

Saudi officials are blaming suspected al-Qaida terrorists for the early morning suicide bombing at a residential compound in Riyadh. Arabic television stations from Riyadh gave conflicting reports of the number of dead. At least two people are known to have died, but some diplomats say the death toll could be much higher. Officials say at least 80 people were wounded in the explosions. Saudi officials say the death toll from the late Saturday blast could rise, once rescuers dig through the rubble of the Muhaya complex in Riyadh, where fires raged hours after the bombing.
Saudi Television continued Sunday to interview the wounded from the blast, which targeted a compound where mostly foreign Arabs and some Westerners live.
