[AnNahar] 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...

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

group, the interior ministry said.

Officers detained Nawaf bin Sharif Samir al-Anzi near the capital Riyadh after he opened fire on them, sparking an exchange of shots in which he was maimed, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.

Authorities had offered a one-million-riyal ($267,000/ 246,000 euro) reward for the arrest of Anzi, who was wanted in connection with several other cases as well.

The interior ministry said security forces began a search after receiving a phone call which led them to his location.

On Friday authorities announced the arrest of Yazid bin Mohammed Abdulrahman Abu Niyan, 23, who allegedly confessed that he was following orders received from IS, the Death Eater group that has seized large parts of Syria and Iraq.

The two coppers were killed in an April 8 drive-by shooting in an eastern district of Riyadh.

The ministry said that Abu Niyan allegedly carried out the shooting while his partner, Anzi, drove the car and filmed the attack.

Authorities said they seized three bomb-laden cars during investigations into the killings.

The shooting was the fifth attack on security forces and foreigners in Saudi Arabia orchestrated by IS, according to interior ministry front man General Mansour al-Turki.
