| 2004-09-05 |
| Three Saudi security officers were killed yesterday when their patrol car caught fire after being hit by gunfire while chasing suspected terrorists in the central city of Buraidah, the Interior Ministry said. "A patrol car caught fire after it was hit by a bullet while chasing a suspects' car, which led to the martyrdom of three security men," in Buraidah, 340 km northwest of Riyadh, a ministry official said. Seven suspected terrorists were also arrested in a dawn swoop by security forces in southern neighborhoods of Buraidah in the Qasim region, the ministry official said, adding that their identities were being checked. Informed sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that the security forces besieged Al-Khaleej neighborhood, south of Buraidah, yesterday evening after the shootout. Buraidah witnessed a series of security operations over the past week aimed at tracking down suspected militants linked to the Al-Qaeda terror network. Security forces gunned down a terrorist and arrested another on Friday in a similar chase, hours after a security officer was shot dead and three were wounded when their patrol car came under fire. On Aug. 28, police arrested three wanted terrorists and a Pakistani suspect who came to Buraidah from the southern part of the Kingdom. Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Mansour Al-Turki said the seven presumed terrorists were arrested yesterday as security forces combed southern Buraidah, but before the police vehicle came under fire. |

| #7 I think it was declared that anyone the Saudis decided to surround or chase were infidels. What was that Fatwa #? ALJIZZO8675309? Something like that, heh. Hey, when the Grand Wazoo Chief MuftiMuff is on your payroll, this shit's a snap, lol! Well, speak of the Devil, here he is now... |

| #2 Not to mention that they all politely stayed in the car to burn up instead of slowing / stopping and jumping? If it had exploded it would make more sense. On fire? Shit, I'm outta there! This is Nayef-O-Magic, again. Good call RC! |

| #1 Um, this is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY outside of Hollywood special effects. Anyone else see the "Mythbusters" where they tested this? They put, what, a dozen slugs through a gas tank with no more effect than some leaking gas. |
