An Arabic-language website is reporting that a jihadist organization in the Gulf “has learned of a plan to assassinate President Bush” during his Middle East tour, which begins today. The president plans to be in the region, including Saudi Arabia, winding up at the Sinai Peninsula resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for the World Economic Forum May 18. Sharm el-Sheikh, you’ll recall, already has been the site of multiple terrorist explosions in 2005, which killed 88 and were attributed to a Saudi-based Wahhabi group. According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, members of the pro-al-Qaeda cell have undergone sniper training and “will lie in wait during [Bush's] upcoming visit [to Saudi Arabia].” I’m struck by those words: We’ve had nearly seven years without a large-scale terrorist attack successfully targeting U.S. citizens (with the major exceptions of Iraq and Afghanistan), but we would be foolish people to forget that well-armed factions are “lying in wait.”
