| 2013-05-23 |
| [An Nahar] A Saudi court sentenced eight citizens to jail terms of between 10 and 25 years on Wednesday after convicting them of plotting for al-Qaeda, state news agency SPA reported. The eight were convicted of "forming a group to eliminate coppers, among them Colonel Mubarak al-Sawat" -- killed in 2005, SPA said. They were found guilty of "aiding al-Qaeda" by searching for addresses of Saudi officers and sending threatening messages to them. The court convicted them of plotting to kidnap or kill security personnel, as well as of burning cars of coppers and targeting non-Musselmen foreigners, SPA said. A wave of deadly al-Qaeda attacks rocked 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 the Soddy national face... between 2003 and 2006 prompting a massive crackdown by the authorities. |
