Terrorists Give Police the Slip
2004-04-17
Consistent, aren't they?
Two terrorists who shot dead a security officer Wednesday gave police the slip again late Thursday night. Police patrol cars sweeping the rugged area of Wadi Hanifa near Al-Oyaynah, 45 km northwest of Riyadh, spotted the suspects who had killed an officer of the Al-Mujahedeen units and wounded his colleague. The suspects, who were hiding in a cave in the valley, were spotted by security officers using night vision binoculars, sources told Arab News. Security officers then sealed several ways into the area and waited for backup. However, when orders to engage arrived the suspects had managed to flee into “deeper grounds”, according to a security source. Due to the rugged terrain, security officers were unable to follow in their cars.
... and through some oversight they'd neglected to bring their feet.
The search for the suspects continued throughout Friday on foot and with Civil Defense helicopters.

Either these guys are the most pathetic cops on the planet or the bribe was paid in lots of small bills.
