#2  Since dragging Western men through the streets of Yanbu and Khobar did not cause the mass of exodus of Expats that they were aiming for,
maybe the "deviants'" think that kidnapping their(Westerner's) wives will.

This was in the same edition carrying the Locusts article.

"3 Arrested for Trying to Kidnap Expat Woman
Arab News

JEDDAH, 20 November 2004 — Police in Madinah have arrested three young Saudis for allegedly trying to kidnap an expatriate woman after beating up her husband, press reports said yesterday.

The incident took place at the Quba Street junction close to Adil Center in the holy city. Five youths in a Cressida sedan pulled over and approached the couple as they were coming out of a shopping center. They attempted to kidnap the woman after beating up her husband, according to Al-Madinah daily.

“The youths tried to force the woman into their car but her husband put up strong resistance. This angered the youths who beat him up and hit him in the head with a stone,” the paper said.

Patrol police arrived at the scene and arrested two youths while they struggled with the woman trying to push her into the car. The police also caught up with the driver of the car who tried to escape. A search has been mounted for the other two suspects. The case has been transferred to the Investigation and Public Prosecution Commission.

Doctors said the expatriate man sustained deep injuries to his head. He will take at least one week to recover, they added."
