Saudi arrests three militant suspects
2004-11-01
DUBAI — Saudi security authorities arrested a man on suspicion of terrorism as he shot at security forces at a checkpoint in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, local media reported yesterday. According to the Saudi newspaper Al Watan, the man was arrested on Saturday along with seven other persons that were in his vehicle after the driver ignored security personnel at the checkpoint on a road south of Riyadh, and then opened fire trying to escape. The vehicle's driver was found in possession of a machine gun and live ammunition which were returned to him. The report did not say if the suspect was on the kingdom's list of wanted terrorists.

Elsewhere two male terrorist suspects — one dressed in women's clothes — were arrested in a bus station at Al Azeziyah district in southern Riyadh, the media reported.

#2  These stories cry out for a picture of Bob Hope in a harem outfit from one of his "On The Road" pictures.

#1  No wonder Saudi Clerics and Princes demand the womenfolk wear the burqa. If it was not required, it would take away a major means of escape for the menfolk after committing various nefarious deeds.
