Arms cache discovered in Saudi Arabia
2005-08-08
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Saudi police discovered an arms cache in an artesian well on a deserted farm near Medina in western Saudi Arabia, the Interior Ministry said Monday. Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Turki was quoted in the daily al-Riyadh as saying police were still retrieving arms from the well, which was 200 meters (656 feet) deep and only 30 centimeters (12 inches) in diameter.
"Police extracted information about the arms cache after interrogating a terror suspect arrested recently," Turki said.
"Talk, or we'll go Bangladeshi on your ass!"
Elsewhere, police arrested an Asian man of undisclosed nationality and seized explosives from his car in the province of Yunbu' in western Saudi Arabia.
Is that real Asian or are they using the British version of the word?
The provincial police chief, Brig. Hamad Oufi, said police had received a tip concerning a car carrying explosives coming from Jeddah on the Red Sea. "The car was spotted and after a thorough search police discovered 155 dynamite sticks with equipment needed to detonate them," Oufi said.

#6  Maybe the water flow had diminished and they were trying to 'frac' the well, to bring in more water. Hey, it works for a lot of oil wells. I wonder what they'll pay me to be their defense attorney?
(end sarcasm.)

#5  May have been disposing of evidence rather than storing them.

#1  The Brit version - AOA = "Arab and Other Asian", one of Aramco's standard employee designations, makes the point, I think.
