| By DONNA ABU-NASR, Associated Press Writer A German man who worked as a caterer for Saudi Arabiaâs national airline was shot and killed Saturday by unknown assailants, an Interior Ministry official said. Authorities are investigating whether the attack was a terrorist or a criminal one, the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity. The man, who worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines, was shot at a shopping mall on Prince Abdullah Highway, a popular shopping thoroughfare in eastern Riyadh. Police cordoned off the mall and would not let journalists approach. Arab news network Al-Jazeera said the man was shot in the head and body while leaving a shop. It said the attacker, an "unidentified militant," ran away. The attack came two days after Saudi security forces killed four militants in a shootout north of the capital following a raid in which weapons and explosives-making material were seized. Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a high-profile crackdown on terrorists following attacks in the capital last year. The government says it has foiled dozens of terror attacks in the kingdom since the campaign began. Most of the attacks were blamed on al-Qaida. The most recent terrorist attack in the kingdom, on May 1, targeted the offices of an American energy company in the western city of Yanbu, killing six Westerners and a Saudi. |

| #2 "Plainclothes policemen were inspecting the victimâs dark 1988 Lincoln Town Car. According to bystanders, the German was a sympathizer with the Arab cause. As the body was taken away in a Red Crescent ambulance around 8.30 p.m., one witness noticed a tattoo on Benglerâs arm proclaiming, âAl-Quds is freeâ. No motive for the attack has been established." http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1§ion=0&article=45488&d=23&m=5&y=2004 Expecto to read tomorrow that the German was killed by the CIA or the Mossad. Notice how they (saudis) are already dropping "clues." A Linconl Car = American Tatoo saying free Al-Quds = he sympathized with the arabs so the Israeli (Mossad backed by the CIA, of course) wanted to kill him. No motive has been established = they are fine-tuning the lie. |

| #1 The fact he was a german makes me want to say...ALRIGHT!! Nonetheless, he's one of God's children, so I say, AWWW! what a shame. The saudis are fighting nobody but us, the U.S.A. It's as simple as the nod of a head for prince bandar al dickhead, to have a neighborhood blown up, in a phony terrorist attack, and have some homeless asshole muslim bastard shot all to hell by saudi "security forces" as a supposed, "terrorist mastermind", trying to test the will of the saudi royal assholes. saudis haven't "foiled" a goddamn thing. They've spawned it all!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
