| [AlAhram] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... said Sunday it broke up two Lion of Islam plots in recent weeks, one with Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... Lions of Islam trying to kill coppers and the second involving parking a boom-mobile at a soccer match with the United Arab Emirates. The two disrupted plots announced by the Interior Ministry come as the Sunni-ruled kingdom grapples with a local Islamic State affiliate, as well as unrest in its predominantly Shiite east. The first plot aimed to kill coppers by a group in Saudi Arabia's central Shaqraa province, the country's Interior Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. It said four Saudis who received instructions from an Islamic State leader in Syria were tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! before they could carry out the plan. The second plot involved a group of Lions of Islam who hoped to plant a boom-mobile at the soccer match between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates at a stadium in Jiddah. It said two Paks, a Syrian and a Sudanese national were arrested Oct. 10, the day before a FIFA fixture between the two sides was to be played. It wasn't immediately clear if the second plot involved the Islamic State group as well. The Interior Ministry did not say whether those arrested had lawyers. Separately, the Interior Ministry identified eight Saudis and one Bahraini it wanted for attacks on security forces and sabotage in the kingdom's east. The area has seen a series of shootings targeting police in the wake of the kingdom's January execution of a prominent Shiite holy man. |
