#1 Saudi Police Battle Suspected Militants

How do they distinguish one from the other?

#2 If the Saudis let 3 out of 4 loose after the previous attack, it is quite evident that the Road-to-Hell Curve™ for SA is getting out of the psuedo straight section and getting to the exponential part. The jihadis will build upon their success like compound interest.

Oops, sorry, compound interest is a sin in Islam. My apologies, please accept my apology. Uh, I didn't mean it....

#3 If they are battling... wouldn't that pretty much make them militant?

#4 elarsn - only if militants is a word with actual meaning, rather than a euphemism for terrorists.

#5 Good old al-Reuters and their "militants."
Even Arab News says they're terrorists.
I suppose it's escaped noone's notice that this a different group than the one in al-Khobar...

#6 Check out this bit from the report:

Saudi Arabia has been locked in battle in the past year with militants linked to Saudi-born Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, which is trying to bring down the U.S.-backed monarchy.

Unreal.
The Sods are only our puppets--Who knew?
As usual, it's all our fault.
OBL used to be mad because the U.S. was "defiling the holy lands of Arabia" by having the Prince Sultan airbase.
Well, we shipped everyone out of there.
Now, it's because we "keep" the Sauds in power?
I thought it was because we supported Israel and the Sods "let" us.
al-Rooters needs to get their kuffi'r/infidel/GreatSatan story straight.
