| Bomb, 'suspicious object' found under US, British cars in Saudi Arabia |
| 2002-06-30 |
| A bomb was found under an American's car in Saudi Arabia while a "suspicious object" was attached to a Briton's vehicle, but were both removed without incident. An embassy circular said that Saudi authorities are investigating the incidents, which occurred during the past two days. An American employee at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, on Saturday found an explosive device attached to his car. "The American and his spouse discovered an unfamiliar and suspicious object attached underneath the vehicle because the object was dragging on the road as they set off to work," the circular said. The man contacted Saudi police who removed the device. Further checks determined it was a bomb. US Embassy officials are following the Saudi investigation into the incident. A "suspicious object" was found attached to the underside of a Briton's vehicle on Sunday at the Al Nakheel Residence Compound in Riyadh. Saudi police removed the device and an investigation is underway. Saudi officials were not immediately available for comment. Wonder if they'll pass these guys off as alk dealers, too? |

| #1 "The American and his spouse discovered an unfamiliar and suspicious object attached underneath the vehicle because the object was dragging on the road as they set off to work," So the bomb...was dragging...on a Saudi road...and didn't explode? |
