Soddies say they have 30 bad boyz deported from Syria
2005-05-30
Speaking to reporters in Riyadh, Prince Naif said that the Kingdom had received more than 30 Saudi detainees extradited by Syria. According to press reports, Syria arrested more than 300 Saudis over the past few weeks on suspicion they were en route to Iraq to fight alongside insurgents. Prince Naif refuted suggestions that new terror cells were in the making after Saudi security forces made remarkable success in a nationwide clampdown on Al-Qaeda militants. However, he pointed out that police had arrested some suspects who were planning to join the terror group.
Ummm... Doesn't that leave 270 of them still be be accounted for?

#2  Might be because the thought of those US and Iraqi forces along the border was ... worry making to Assad. He knows damn well that the flow of jihadis through his country into Iraq, often with Syrian papers, gives the elected Iraqi government ample justification to pursue fighters across his border - and to bring along with their allies (the U.S.).

#1  How many were killed in Operation Matador? These were their replacements. And there's more where these came from. Wonder why the Syrians stopped them this time.
