Saudi Shootout Snags Suspects
2004-05-24
Security forces arrested several suspected militants who attacked them Monday in the town of Buraida, a fundamentalist stronghold in the kingdom, government officials said. The shootout began just before 2 p.m., according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Helicopters assisted, they said. Several suspected militants fired from a car at security forces, who overpowered and arrested them, the officials said.
"You'll never take me alive.........oh shit, they did."
They said the attackers' car was the same one used in an attack on security forces in Buraida last week.
Hell, the dumbest gangbanger in South Central coulda told em to dump that ride.
Four wanted militants and two police officers were killed in that confrontation.
The friends of the dead cops will be wanting to discuss that shootout with the guys bagged today. Unless, of course, they have "connections".
Buraida is 210 miles northwest of Riyadh, the capital. The area gave birth to Wahhabism - the doctrine that the Saudi royal family embraced long ago as a trade-off for wielding absolute power.

#5  No, they did not catch anybody. According to the Arab News, the police sieged the house for the 3 hours and did not make a single arrest. They finally stormed the house after throwing in a tear gas grenade. Once inside, they proceeded to wipe the tears from their eyes and the terrorists took this opportunity to get away.

#1  They caught 'em?? Interesting. One question: Were those guys "surrounded" first?
