A Saudi official makes a rare reflection on the kingdom's role in the rise of extremism.

In Saudi Arabia, it can be rare for leaders to openly acknowledge any link between the state's ultra-conservative Wahhabi strain of Islam, and the global rise of extremism and terrorism. But in a conversation with FRONTLINE's Martin Smith in the new documentary series "Bitter Rivals: Iran and Saudi Arabia," Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel Al-Jubier, makes a rare on-camera reflection.
