| Expats alert after Saudi ambush |
| 2007-03-01 |
| Riyadh - Western embassies in Saudi Arabia have advised their nationals to be alert after the killing of four French expatriates wondering if this might signal a resumption of anti-Western attacks. Several residents on Wednesday said that while they were shocked by Monday's shootings near the Muslim holy city of Medina, they would only be alarmed if a further attack took place. "If it were to happen again, it would send a ripple of concern across the expatriate community and have a very negative effect," said Peter Howarth-Lees, the British manager of a residential compound inhabited by expatriates in Riyadh. He added: "At the moment, we don't know if this was an isolated attack or a hate crime by some locals who don't like Westerners. "Security forces since 2004 have made great strides in taking out a lot of militants operating in the country." More at link |

| #4 #3: Why, Saudis might actually have to do physical labor! Only if you count armed robbery as physical labor. |

| #2 Think of what a shock wave would be felt in Saudiland if all the non-Saudis suddenly quit and left their peaceful little inbred paradise, and no one else came to fill their places. Why, Saudis might actually have to do physical labor! Wouldn't THAT put a crimp in Abdullah's shorts. |
