#1 Here it is: One of Saudi Arabia's most-wanted terrorism suspects has died from injuries in a November shootout with security forces, a US official said. Amer Mohsin Moreef Al Zaidan al-Shihri made it to a safe house where he was treated by a nurse but later died, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Slow and painful lingering death, excellent.

The Saudi Interior Ministry said in November that the five-hour shootout in a residential neighbourhood of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, left one suspected militant dead and eight policemen wounded. Witnesses said several other militants escaped. The Saudi government has never declared al-Shihri to be dead. Messages left with Saudi officials were not immediately returned.
Al-Shihri's death also was reported on a Web site run by a group called the al-Qaida Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula. The site's statement, dated Monday, also said another militant, Abul Illah al-Otaibi, was killed in the same clash.
Neither the US official nor the Web site said when al-Shihri had died. The site said the group buried al-Shihri in a remote part of Riyadh but that authorities later found the grave using information supplied by detained militants and exhumed the body. It gave no date for the exhumation.

Yup, the stiff in the desert.
