Explosion in Saudi Arabia;missile test in Israel carried on Arab TV: What appears to have been a car bombing blew through a residential compound yesterday in Riyadh. Figures on dead and wounded vary, but it seems to have been pretty nasty. Luckily, no Americans appear to have been involved...

Meanwhile, portions of a secret Israeli missile test were seen on televisions across the Arab world recently when the company conducting the exercise apparently failed to encrypt its video transmission. The broadcast from the supersecret control room conducting the test — including the range and performance of the missile and the discussion among top officers — was available for 48 hours to anyone with a satellite television dish.
