| Saudis nab sorcerer on border |
| 2009-11-16 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Saudi's armed forces arrested a sorcerer attempting to plant magic spells in the conflict zone in support of the Houthis, the Saudi newspaper Okaz reported. The paper reported that army officers spotted a "strange-looking" man with long dirty nails and thick entangled hair pulled back in disheveled braids wondering the border town of Jabal Dukhan. The man was initially believed to be a refugee fleeing the conflict but security forces searched him and found amulets, animal remains and scrolls containing symbols. The detainee admitted he was planning to plant amulets in the conflict zone to help the Houthi rebels sneak across the border and win their war against Saudi Arabia. When asked why he had long nails, he claimed that he is obeying the order of the jinns, or spirits. "The jinns will be infuriated and will kill me if I trim or clean my nails," he told his interrogators. |

| #3 WOW! And we're supposed to be scared of these guys? Come on now. I personally think we should build a high fence around the entire muddle east (misspell intended) forbid anyone to travel in or out and not let them export any oil for a year. Then we should let them have at it until all of the nutjobs kill each other off. Seriously, there has to be a pathogen for the mass insanity and hysteria in that region and we need to quarantine them. Or nuke em, what do you think? |
