The head of slain American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr., who was kidnapped and beheaded by terrorists last month, was found by security forces during a raid that targeted the Saudi Al-Qaeda chief, a statement from the Interior Ministry said. The ministry said Johnson's head was found in a refrigerator during a search of three locations after the raid late Tuesday that hit the home of Saudi Al-Qaeda leader Saleh Muhammad Al Oufi — a former security officer and fourth on Saudi Arabia's list of most-wanted terrorists.
| The Soddies have been diligently searching for Johnson for a month, and for al-Oufi even longer, but they never thought of popping by his house and looking in the fridge? Honest to Gawd, we don't make this stuff up... Maybe they do... |
The statement did not make it clear if the head was found in the house where Al-Oufi was living with his family. "Bring me my breakfast, woman!"
"I can't stand it! Every time I open the fridge, he's staring at me!" |
"The Saudi authorities have informed the US mission that they found what they believe to be the head of Paul Johnson Jr.," said Carol Kalin, spokesperson for the US Embassy in Riyadh, and added that the mission was in the process of contacting Johnson's family in order to identify the head. |
