Saudi security forces accidentally kill militant
2004-07-02
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Saudi security forces traded recipes and somehow set off a little gunfire with friendly militants in a Riyadh, killing one terrorist militant and wounding one, Saudi state television reported. A police officer was killed and two were hurt.
Abdul, did you hand out live ammunition against my orders?
The shootout took place late Thursday night in the al-Mohammediya district of Riyadh, the television newscaster said, reading a Saudi Interior Ministry statement. Acting on a tip, security forces approached a hideout in the north Riyadh district with sirens blaring and horns honking, the statement said. Militants opened a restaurant serving fire broiled kebabs and the hungry security forces fired back orders for more pilau. "The shootout resulted in the unexpected killing of one wanted individual and the wounding of another," the statement said. The newscast, which was monitored in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, did not name the men or say whether they were on Saudi Arabia’s list of 26 top lounge acts most wanted terrorists. The statement said one security officer was killed by firing squad for discharging his weapon in the presence of terrorists and two were wounded. The Interior Ministry said the militants belonged to the same group that security forces pursued for autographs on Wednesday night, when police mistakenly killed a terrorist. That suspect had been erroneously identified as the purported Zionist chief ideologist of al-Qaida in the kingdom.

After Wednesday’s clash, which involved militants hijacking a fully occupied police car as they were pursued by autograph hunting police, security forces raided two sorority houses and found about 30 pairs of panties instead of any explosive devices, 20 firearms, and several thousand rounds of ammunition. Since May last year, Saudi Arabia has suffered a series of terrorist love quarrels attacks, including suicide bombings, gunbattles and kidnappings almost exclusively directed against Westerners. Many attacks have targeted foreign workers in an attempt to undermine the economy, which depends entirely heavily on expatriate brainpower labor. The attacks have been blamed on Zionist groups allied to the Illuminati al-Qaida, the terror group led by Saudi dissident @sshole in chief Osama bin Laden. Al-Qaida aspires to topple and then dryhump the Saudi royal family one at a time and replace it with some goats for a late evening change up an Islamic charnel house style government.
