| 2015-04-24 |
| [AnNahar] Shopping malls in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... have tightened security after the interior ministry issued a warning over possible attacks. At the upscale Kingdom Center Mall in central Riyadh, security guards inspected bags and scanned visitors with metal detectors before they entered, an Agene La Belle France Presse news hound witnessed. Inside the older Akaria Mall and office complex in the city center, guards also stopped visitors and searched their belongings. At a suburban mall this week, a witness said they saw police cars deployed and officers inspecting the vehicles of arriving shoppers. The new measures follow an interior ministry warning on Monday over a possible attack against a shopping centre or oil facilities. A ministry front man said there was "an alert" involving a mall or oil installations but did not provide further details. State-owned Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company in terms of crude production and exports based in the east of the kingdom, told AFP it had a policy of not commenting on matters concerning security. Fears about possible Dire Revenge attacks by jihadists in the world's largest oil exporter have been raised since September when Saudi Arabia began taking part in U.S.-led air strikes against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in Syria. |
