Iraq-Jordan
Two Saudis captured sneaking into Iraq
2005-06-29
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 29 (UPI) -- Iraqi authorities captured two Saudi nationals as they tried to sneak into Iraq through the Iraqi-Syrian-Jordanian border triangle, reports said Wednesday. Saudi daily al-Watan quoted an Iraqi interior ministry source as saying the men were carrying weapons and large sums of money when they were arrested before entering Iraq.
"Before entering Iraq"? So, which of the two sides of the Iraqi-Syrian-Jordanian triangle did we nab them on if they weren't in Iraq?
"The two men admitted during interrogation that they planned to carry out armed operations in Iraqi cities in coordination with local Muslim fundamentalist groups," the source said.
Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said Tuesday the kingdom is keen on cooperating with the Iraqi authorities on security but found no suitable response from the Iraqis and no channels for cooperation.
He sez that like it's a bad thing

#12  You're all so strict...it's about humiliation.
Something sporting and humorous - say - paraded about someplace like Mobile, Lubbock, or Butte, or maybe WEST WALL STREET slowly behind a chariot driven by Bush (in proper period attire), in Amnesty International approved humanitarian security devices (for their safety and convienience, of course)

#10  The way to win the WoT in Iraq is to take the battle to the sources of terrorism (ideology, people, money, weapons).

Syria.

Iran.

Saudi Arabia.

#8  I believe the Saudi Minister is thinking "cooperation" as in returning these Saudis to Saudi. Dream on. Only in body bags, freight prepaid by the Saudis.

#7  Bullet behind the ear. Totally justified. Put it on TV right after their video taped confession of plans to make war on the people of Iraq. Thenshow them being tossed into a grave with a dead pig and dead dog.

#5  the men were carrying weapons

Unlawful combatants. BAR has it right -- one round each, and use the cash they were carrying to buy more ammunition.

#3  Put them on Iraqi TV confessing (bragging!) about their plans to subsidize and/or participate in the terrorism.

Then put english subtitles on it and give it to FOX TV.
