    Bush: Attackers to learn 'meaning of American justice'

    Officials suspect al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia bombings

    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (CNN) --President Bush said Tuesday that those responsible for suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia that left dozens of people dead, including seven Americans, would "learn the meaning of American justice."

    The suspected al Qaeda bombings Monday night at three housing compounds in the Saudi capital killed 20 people, plus nine suspected bombers, whose bodies were found at the scenes of the explosions, Saudi officials said. (Locations of blasts) Nearly 200 others also were injured, the officials said.

    "These despicable acts were committed by killers whose only faith is hate," Bush said Tuesday in Indianapolis, Indiana, his last stop on a tour to promote tax cuts. "And the United States will find the killers, and they will learn the meaning of American justice."

    He said the bombings "remind us that the war on terror continues." (Full story)

    A statement by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah reacting to the Riyadh bombings was "the strongest thing we have ever seen from them," said a senior U.S. official involved in national security affairs, who voiced hope that it was a sign the Saudis' "personal pain" would lead them to closer cooperation with the United States.

    Significantly, the Saudi government shared an advance copy of the crown prince's statement with the White House.

    The Saudi regent said the "small group of deviants" who take part in terrorist attacks are "devoid of all of the Islamic human values. ... They're like monsters that are pursuing bloodshed and scaring and terrorizing innocent people."

    He also said the bombers would not be considered martyrs but would suffer a "destiny that is harsh in hellfire."

    The crown prince's direct statement that the attacks could not be justified under Islam or through the Koran was "a major positive" and "a very important signal from the Saudis," the official said.

    The official suggested that the fact that Saudis were killed in the attacks might have something to do with the tough rhetoric.

    "These people didn't just attack outsiders -- they shot their way through Saudis and killed Saudis as part of these acts, and that appears to have added to the power of how [Saudi officials] are interpreting this."

    'Fingerprints' of al Qaeda

    An FBI team was expected to leave Washington for Riyadh on Tuesday to assess what is known about the attacks. The agents also will be asking the Saudi Arabian government for unfettered access to any evidence, government officials said.

    Arriving in Riyadh on a previously scheduled visit, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell condemned the attacks, which he said bore the "fingerprints" of the al Qaeda terrorist network. (On the scene: Peter Bergen)

    Touring one of the wreckage-strewn target areas, Powell said the attack had been well-planned and that the facilities obviously had been "cased."

    "The damage you see here today will not deter the United States, and I'm sure it will not deter Saudi Arabia in our mutual effort to go after this kind of terrorism and roll it up," Powell said.

    The blasts came less than two weeks after the U.S. State Department warned Americans of possible terror attacks in Saudi Arabia. Last week, the Saudi government issued an all-points bulletin for 19 men -- 17 of them Saudis -- on suspicion of planning attacks.

    Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef told a Riyadh newspaper Tuesday that those suspects were behind Monday's bombings.

    Fifteen of the 19 hijackers involved in the attacks of September 11, 2001, were from Saudi Arabia, as is al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. (Special report)

    A witness to one of Monday night's attacks who would give only her first name -- Helen -- said she was watching television when she heard gunfire.

    "Before I knew it, there was a huge explosion. The sky lit up, and I just fell to the ground. The whole
