| Bomb Kills Briton in Saudi Arabia |
| 2002-06-20 |
| A car bomb explosion killed a British banker in the Saudi capital on Thursday. The official Saudi Press Agency said the victim's four-wheel-drive vehicle exploded. In London, the Foreign Office said the explosion happened in the street outside a residential compound. Most Westerners in Saudi Arabia live in heavily guarded high-walled compounds. A Foreign Office spokesman identified the dead man as Simon Veness, a banker. He worked for Al Bank Al Saudi Al Fransi. One less infidel to have around. Good thing there aren't any al-Qaeda in Soddy Arabia. |
