Arabia
Saudi offers asylum to Blinky

He can have the pavilion next to Idi Amin's ...
BERLIN - King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has offered political asylum to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, 49, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported Saturday, quoting government sources in Kabul.

The report said the approach was made at the request of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and outgoing US president George W Bush. Karzai hoped the offer would speed up plans for a reconciliation process in the landlocked Asian nation and had promised the Taliban leader safe passage if he decided to return to Afghanistan, Der Spiegel said.

Terrorism experts believe Mullah Omar is hiding in the Pakistan city of Quetta, possibly with the help of the countrys Inter- Services Intelligence agency, the report added.

#3   King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has offered been providing political asylum to ........ Osama bin Laden for years?

Nooooo, they'd never do a dishonest, backhanded thing like that.

#2  If King Abdullah would openly harbor a terrorist enemy of the U.S., then King Abdullah should be a U.S. target in my book.

#1  The questions is not who the Saudi Apartheid Islamic Republic would give asylum to, rather to whom they wouldn't. Idi Amin died in Saudi. The bar is laying on the ground.
