Apparent al Qaeda claim made for Saudi attack

A man believed by authorities to be the top al Qaeda figure in Saudi Arabia has purportedly claimed responsibility for an attack that killed at least 11 people, many of them Westerners. Earlier today, more than 24 hours after gunmen stormed a compound housing oil workers in the eastern city of Khobar, a hostage standoff between them and police ended, Saudi authorities said.
