| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A new video from inside the restive al-Awamiya neighborhood showed a car carrying gunnies shooting at citizens and security officers. 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... ’s Ministry of Interior said on Friday that gunnies targeted a development project in the neighborhood of al-Masoura in the eastern province of Qatif, where labor workers were targeted during the shoot-out. Two people, including an infant, were killed and 10 others maimed after gunnies shot at workers at a development project in the eastern Qatif governorate and left the scene. Ten people including six Saudi nationals were maimed in the attacks. The injured include a woman and two children, a Sudanese national, an Indian national who is in a critical condition, in addition to four coppers who suffered minor injuries.
The gunnies tried to stop redevelopment work in the old quarter of the town of Awamiya, where authorities say Shia Lions of Islam are hiding, said an interior ministry front man quoted by state news agency SPA. "Workers were shot at by terrorist elements from the neighborhood to obstruct the project and protect abandoned houses used to ... kidnap citizens," said SPA. The attack took place in Qatif, an oil-producing province home to a large Shia population that has witnessed protests for more rights in Saudi Arabia which is majority Sunni. Authorities say the narrow streets of the old town, built during Ottoman rule more than 200 years ago, have become a hideout for Shia Moslem Lions of Islam believed to be behind attacks on security forces in the region. | |
