Shortly after the attack, in which six people were also maimed, Saudi security forces said they killed the attacker and tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! two suspects linked with the incident. Meanwhile, ...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising. And then he smelled the smoke... the Saudi-owned television channel Al Ekhbariya TV had quoted sources as saying that the "person who opened fire on a husseiniya was killed, and the attacker was in his twenties." The channel said the motive remained unclear. A resident reached by telephone told Rooters that an attacker approached the meeting hall in a taxi but was stopped at a checkpoint. Police arrived and a shootout broke out, which the resident said injured several people and left the attacker dead. This is not the first time a Shiite site was targeted in the kingdom this year. In August, a jacket wallah killed at least 15 people in an attack on a mosque used by members of a local security force in southwest 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... In May, a suicide bomber went kaboom!during Friday prayers at a mosque in the village of al-Qadeeh in eastern Saudi Arabia, killing at least 21 and wounding 81 others. The 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) turban group grabbed credit for both attacks. Since the attacks, volunteer security guards have sprung up around holy sites in the largely Shiite Eastern province of the kingdom, whose rulers follow a strict version of Sunni Islam. The turban group has also targeted Shiite mosques and places in other regional countries such as Kuwait and Iraq.
