Saudi Arabia Hopes Laden Death to End Terrorism Used at Home

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hopes Osama bin Laden’s death will help efforts to combat terrorism and dismantle terror cells that have been used to attack the Arab world’s largest economy, the official news agency said.

Bin Laden’s death in a firefight with U.S. troops may undermine the ideology behind terrorism, the Riyadh-based Saudi Press Agency said today, citing an unidentified government official. Saudi citizens have “been among the most targeted ones” by the terrorist group, it said.
