 Police have arrested the suspected killer of the imam of a mosque in Saudi Arabia, and are investigating a possible terrorist motive, reports said Monday. Saudi daily al-Watan said worshippers in the mosque of Afiriya in the western city of Ranya were stunned when a man barged in during Friday prayers last week, brandishing a pistol which he fired at the mosque's imam, killing him instantly. The killer was later captured by police and turned out to be the cousin of the victim. | Isn't everyone in the Magic Kingdom related to each other? |
