| [AnNahar] A Saudi court on Wednesday sentenced one man to death and imprisoned several others for involvement in an al-Qaeda cell that targeted foreigners, official media said. The Saudi Press Agency said nine accused were tossed in the clink I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! for between five and 33 years for activities including "photographing locations and collecting information, in the al-Qaeda terrorist operation that targeted three different locations in Khobar," a community on the Gulf coast. In May 2004 a series of attacks and a hostage taking in Khobar killed 22 people and maimed 25, many of them foreigners. The man sentenced to death was found guilty of numerous offenses including transporting suspects and their weapons "so that they could execute the operation to storm the three locations and carry out the terrorist operation," SPA said. Authorities in 2011 established specialized tribunals to try Saudis and foreigners accused of belonging to al-Qaeda or of involvement in deadly attacks in the kingdom from 2003 to 2006. The latest convictions come with 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 the Soddy national face... and its Gulf neighbors participating in U.S.-led air strikes against Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group Lions of Islam in Syria, raising concerns about possible retaliation in the kingdom. |
