USING THE THREAT OF TERROR AS A BARGAINING CHIP Saudi Intelligence Minister told Putin that the Saudis would not authorize or support any terror attacks during the Olympics, BUT THEY COULD STOP SUCH ATTACKS UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. The Saudis are basically telling Putin to stop providing material support to Assad. Failure to comply means that they won’t stop terror attacks at the games, over which they appear to have certain control. On one hand, this could not have pleased Putin. On the other hand, it appears to have given Putin a definitive suspect, a solid alibi, and a “free pass” of sorts relative to a terror act or incident at the Olympics.
