Saudi Arabia‘s oil industry on Friday came close to the most serious terrorist attack in its history when suicide bombers targeted the Abqaiq processing plant， the world’s biggest oil producer.
虽然此次袭击并未中断出口，但人们担心恐怖分子在计划一次新的袭击以打击石油产业，油价因此暴涨。
The attack did not interrupt exports but oil prices jumped amid fears that terrorists were planning a new offensive in their fight against the industry.
欧本海默公司（Oppenheimer and Company）分析师法德勒。盖特（Fadel Gheit）表示：“这里是世界石油贸易的神经中枢。破坏这些设施……将释放一场吞噬整个世界的风暴。数天内，所有政府都会介入，采取协同一致的行动减少石油消耗。”
Fadel Gheit， analyst at Oppenheimer and Company， said： “This is the nerve centre of the world‘s oil trade. Damaging the facility……would be unleashing a hurricane that engulfs the world. Within days all governments would step in to curtail consumption in a co-ordinated effort.”
