The Israeli view of what happened

An interesting item from Gregg in New Zealand. The alleged Iranian connection is almost certainly intelligence agency disinformation however - we have close (very close) relationships with the very highest echelons of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and they deny involvement. Not that they would admit it if they'd done it - they just wouldn't deny it . . . to us.

Saudis and foreign nationals were among the detainees. They included terrorists trained to fly aircraft and carry out suicide attacks against “public figures, oil facilities, refineries and military zones” – some outside the kingdom, said the interior ministry spokesman Brig. Mansour al-Turki Friday, without elaborating.
One had planned to storm a prison and release the inmates.
"They had reached an advance stage of readiness and what remained only was to set the zero hour for their attacks," he said.
A state TV broadcast showed a large quantity of weapons, ammo and explosives in plastic sacks dug up in the desert. More than $32.4 million in cash was also seized.
