| 2012-07-15 |
| Saudi security forces shot and killed a man who was among a group that opened fire and hurled a fire-bomb at a cop shoppe in the oil-rich Eastern province, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said on Saturday. The agency also quoted an Interior Ministry front man as saying that four members of the security forces were maimed in a separate attack by masked gunnies on motor-bikes who fired at two patrols in the village of Sehat, also in Eastern Province, early on Saturday. Two men were killed on Sunday in Eastern Province, where most of the country's Shi'ite Moslem minority lives, during protests after the arrest of a prominent Shi'ite holy man. The Interior Ministry blamed the killings on criminals but Shi'ite activists said snipers shot them. 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 their national face... , the world's No. 1 oil exporter and a key US ally, is sensitive to any unrest in the province in case it is fomented by non-Arab Shi'ite power Iran to destabilize the Gulf region. Tehran denies any involvement. |
