Saudi vows to hunt militants if it takes "decades"

From Reuters

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah said "Zionism is behind terrorist actions in the kingdom," Abdullah told a gathering of princes in Jiddah following the Saturday attacks. "I can say that I am 95 percent sure of that."

Now he says:

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah vowed on Saturday to hunt down militants for "decades" if necessary, and warned Saudis not to sympathise with the attackers who are bent on toppling the ruling family.

"By the will of God, we will track down these people however long it takes -- 20 years, 30 years, decades or even more," the oil-rich kingdom's de facto ruler said in remarks broadcast on Saudi state television.

"We cannot be lenient with this deviant faction," he added.


Is he now changing his mind or was the first comment just the usual attack on Israel?
