Foreigners excluded from Saudi investigation
|
Saudi Arabia will not allow outside investigators to question al-Qaeda suspects who tried to shoot down a U.S. military plane. The daily Okaz newspaper said access to the 11 Saudis, an Iraqi and a Sudanese will be limited to Saudi authorities because "the crimes that they committed or planned to carry out occurred or were going to take place on Saudi territories."
"And we've already got a toilet paper shortage, so we don't want any, uh... unpleasant details getting out..."
The London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported yesterday that the Sudanese suspect fled Saudi Arabia through Iraq and then made his way to Sudan before he was returned to Saudi custody.
Iraq, was it? Wotta coincidence. We were just talking about them the other day...
Al-Hayat also reported that the suspects' weapons and explosives were smuggled in from neighboring Yemen. Several al-Qaida members are believed to have found shelter in Yemen.
Yes. Several.
Also in custody are six Saudis who appear to have been his accomplices, as well as five others and an Iraqi who apparently helped smuggle the Sudanese out of the country. The arrests are the first in Saudi Arabia since Sept. 11, when 15 Saudis and four other Arabs carried out the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
But there aren't any al-Qaeda in Soddy Arabia. We know that, 'cuz they told us.
