Three Saudis arrested at Yemen border
2005-07-14
Saudi border guards arrested three Saudi men as they tried to cross into Yemen. They were planning to cross into Iraq and join the insurgency, security sources said. The three were arrested at the Al Wadiea crossing point on the Saudi side of the border in Sharoura province, sources added. The sources said one of the three, Mohammad Saleh Al Saiari, had been jailed for eight months in Saudi Arabia and spent four months in a prison in Syria. According to the sources, the owner of the car they were using was also arrested by Saudi security authorities. "Religious literature was found with the three in addition to a poem on terrorism, mobile phones and a large amount of cash," the sources said.

#3  Or just too macho to ask for directions...

"I don't need to stop and ask for directions, I know exactly where I am. Besides, using a map is un-islamic, Mohammad didn't have no damm maps! And you kids back there, be quiet or I'm turning this car around and going home right now!"

#2  Spiritual descendants of "Wrong Way Corrigan"? Graduates of a particularly strict, Koran-focused madrassah?

#1  (scratches head looking at map) Funny, I don't see how Yemen is on the route from Saudi to Iraq. Maybe they were walking backward to confuse the cops?
