"Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was in Riyadh for talks on Iraq and the war on terrorism, but was not hurt in the attack."

its funny how this often happens. powell was in pakistan when the whole 'high value target' rubbish was in play. and he was in india before that - preceded by friedman laying the rose petals.

and we see this: "A Saudi official said the bombing was the sixth attempt at such a "terrorist attack" in a week. Five others were foiled."
which is presumably a different version of:
"Saudi police said last weekend that they seized three booby-trapped Sport Utility Vehicles loaded with more than four tons of explosives. The vehicles had apparently been abandoned by militants involved in a shootout with security forces." www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,117722,00.html which sounds like the usual rubbish.

and this lovely piece of detail "Witnesses saw the body of the suicide bomber charred inside the vehicle." - the purpose of which is presumably to 'prove' that it was an arab suicide bomber - rather than say, an american or israeli homicide bomb. "It pains us that these people call themselves Muslims and citizens of this nation." its no wonder everyone seems to have a similar difficulty wondering how muslims can do such things to each other. praps the premise is incorrect

phew - what a day im having.
