DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Six Muslim militants have confessed to the truck bombing that killed 19 U.S. airmen in Saudi Arabia, a Saudi opposition figure said Wednesday, but he predicted it would be weeks before authorities announce the details.
The U.S. Embassy and Saudi officials in the kingdom refused to comment Wednesday on the report by a Saudi opposition organization and have released no details about the inquiry into the June 25 explosion at a U.S. military housing complex in Dhahran.
