| Saudi Police Say Officer Shot Dead in Capital |

| [AnNahar] Unidentified gunnies rubbed out a policeman in the capital of 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... on Friday, a police front man said. Gunmen in a car shot up a patrol in southern Riyadh, killing one of its members, a front man for Riyadh region police said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency. It was the latest in a series of attacks on security forces in the kingdom which is part of a U.S.-led coalition 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 jihadists in Syria. Two Saudi coppers were maimed in a drive-by shooting in Riyadh in late March, days after the kingdom started to lead an campaign of air strikes targeting Iranian catspaws in Yemen. On March 22 the United States resumed consular services in the Gulf state following a week-long closure over unspecified "heightened security concerns." Saudi security forces also occasionally come under attack from opponents in the country's Shiite-populated Eastern Province. Attacks on police are rare in the capital, however. |
