| [An Nahar] A Saudi court has sentenced 16 Al-Qaeda suspects to between three and 25 years for murder and attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities, the official SPA news agency reported Wednesday. The defendants, 15 Saudi nationals and a Yemeni, were convicted of "carrying out terror attacks, targeting oil (sites), and carrying out liquidations," the report said. The court, which handed down the sentences late on Tuesday, also accused the suspects of "establishing Al-Qaeda training camps," inside Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... Two defendants were sentenced to 25 years in prison, one man was sentenced to 15 years, and two others were each locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... for 12 years. The other 11 defendants received jail terms ranging from three to six years. In June 2011, Saudi courts began trying dozens of people accused of involvement in deadly attacks between 2003 and 2006 after authorities launched an all-out campaign to eradicate Al-Qaeda in the country. |
