[Max Power]

I've been hearing these the last couple of days. I'm suprised that nobody has posted it.

WASHINGTON If you don't think Saudi Arabia has been a loyal U-S ally in the fight against al-Qaida -- a new radio ad campaign is out to convince you.

The ads are on the air in 19 U-S cities. They point to the report from the Nine-Eleven commission as proof that Saudi Arabia has helped to fight the terror network.

Osama bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia. So were 15 of the 19 hijackers.

But the ads point out that the commission concluded the Saudi government did not fund al-Qaida.

Still, the Nine-Eleven commission did find reason to criticize Saudi Arabia -- calling the country "a problematic ally in combating Islamic extremism."

Saudi Arabia is taking to the airwaves in the U.S in an attempt to prove their efforts in fighting the war on terrorism.

The country is running radio ads in the States which quote the 9/11 commission. The commission ruled that the country didn't fund al-Qaida and thwarted a 1998 attack on American soldiers.

Saudia Arabia has been criticized by some for allegedly having close ties to al-Qaeda's leader and other suspected terrorists.
