#1 this isnt an Al moqrin who is high up in local AQ, is it? damn these names are hard to follow. Of course the practice of recruiting cousins, nephews, and tribe members adds to the similarity of names.

#3 RIYADH - Saudi security forces Friday killed a suspected militant wanted on security-related charges in the northern town of Buraidah, where a security officer was gunned down the previous night, an official said. "I can confirm from preliminary information that one wanted suspect was killed today in a clash with security forces," said interior ministry spokesman Mansur al-Turki. Turki said the suspect was hunted down during clashes Friday morning as security forces chased militants following the previous night's shootout. He said further details on Friday's operation would be released soon, alluding to a number of casualties and arrests among suspects.

That didn't take long. Either the Saudi cops are getting better or the gunnies are getting dumber. Or this guy had nothing to do with it and was just handy.
