| Saudi Arabian Prison Fire Kills 67 |
| 2003-09-15 |
| A fire broke out in a prison in the Saudi capital on Monday, killing 67 inmates, a prison official said. The official Saudi Press Agency, quoting the head of the Interior Ministry’s prison’s department, said 20 inmates also suffered smoke inhalation and three prison guards were injured. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. Hummmm Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef ordered an investigation into the fire, the SPA quoted the official as saying. The fire broke out midday Monday and ambulances and fire fighters rushed to the prison, according to the official was not identified further. Could be a real fire, these things do happen. Of course, if it turns out that the prisoners were al-Q terror suspects and the bodies were burned beyond recognition............... |

| #5 If they were AL-Q, then they aren't anymore. That's what really counts. |
