Envoy in Saudi 'collusion' claim
2004-09-08
As we had suspected all along, the Saudi definition of 'cornered' differs wholly from our own...
The UK's ambassador to Saudi Arabia says he believes the Saudi security services may have helped in the escape of a gang who killed 22 people. Briton Michael Hamilton, 61, who was born in Kilmarnock and lived in Sussex, was among those killed in a siege in the Saudi city of al Khobar in May. His family believes the Saudi forces colluded with the terrorists. Ambassador Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles told Radio 4's Today there appeared to have beeen some sort of "arrangement". Sir Sherard said he thought it was impossible for the "militants to escape without some sort of understanding with security forces."

#2  Yup, we all know there was collusion but the remarkable thing here is that the British establishment, particularly diplomats, aren't supposed to say shit against the Saudis. (££££) A welcome comment.
