Report: Saudi Questions Identity of U.S. Attackers

KUWAIT (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's defense minister cast doubts in
remarks published Monday on whether Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al
Quaeda network could have single-handedly carried out last month's
attacks on U.S.  cities. 

Prince Sultan hinted in an interview published in Kuwait's as-Seyassah
newspaper that some other ``power'' might have been involved, because
the United States was not any ``easy or feasible target.''

``Therefore, the big question arises: Who stands behind this terrorism
and who carried out this complicated and carefully planned terrorist
operation?'' the prince, who is also second deputy prime minister, told
the Arabic-language daily. 

``Osama bin Laden and those with him have said what indicates that they
stand behind this carefully planned act.  We, in turn, ask: Are bin
Laden and his supporters the only ones behind what happened or is there
another power with advanced technical expertise that acted with them?''
he asked. 

Washington has said fugitive bin Laden and his al Qaeda group were
behind the Sept.  11 attacks on landmarks in New York and Washington. 
This month, it launched a military campaign against Afghanistan to flush
out bin Laden and his supporters. 

Bin Laden denied responsibility for the attacks that killed nearly 5,400
people, but praised those responsible in videotaped remarks broadcast by
a Gulf channel shortly after the United States and Britain began bombing
Afghanistan on Oct.  7. 

Bin Laden, who was stripped of his Saudi citizenship in 1994 for his
acts against the royal family, vowed that America would not live in
peace until Palestinians could do the same. 

Saudi Arabia, a key U.S.  ally, has condemned the attacks but has
remained sensitive to widespread public anger over casualties in Muslim
Afghanistan.
