| Soddies fight militants in Jiddah |
| 2004-06-06 |
| Saudi police and suspected Muslim militants exchanged fire in the Red Sea city of Jeddah yesterday and the gunmen were still on the run after an hours-long pursuit, security sources said. The shooting between police and the militants, who were firing from moving cars, came nearly a week after a major al-Qaeda attack in the world’s biggest oil-exporting country killed 22 people in the city of Khobar. "Police pursued the militants but they managed to escape," one source said. "They are still hunting them down." After initial investigations based on the car license plates, police believed the gunmen were known security suspects but were not thought to be on a central list of 26 wanted militants. |

| #2 The Soddies can sod off. As stated before, when the master creates a monster, feeds the monster, then all of a sudden the monster wants what the master's goods, the monster simply takes them! That includes the camels as well. |

| #1 Reminds me of a lot of bad movies where the cop is chasing some bad guy all over creation, but somehow without a radio or cell phone to coordinate roadblocks, helicopters, etc. |
