Thwarted at the passport counter. Obviously, the Saudis had it coming for their appalling foreign policy and support of Israel [rolleyes]

[b]Saudis foil jet attack on skyscraper[/b]

(Filed: 22/05/2003)

Three men were arrested in Saudi Arabia as they were about to hijack an airliner and crash it into a Saudi skyscraper, security sources said yesterday.

The plot was revealed as a taped message claiming to be from al-Qa'eda's second-in-command called for fresh attacks against the West, including Britain.

The men, believed to be Moroccans, were held in Jeddah as they queued to board a flight to Sudan. They were apparently behaving suspiciously at passport clearance. When asked if they were travelling together, one said no and one said yes.

Under interrogation, one of them said they had planned to crash the airliner into the National Commercial Bank, the only skyscraper in Jeddah, Saudi's commercial capital.

I say NUKE Saudi Arabia now.

This is a BULLSHIT story, concocted by them to make us THINK that they are also intended victims.

Frankly, I hope it IS true. Maybe it'll wake our "allies" the hell up, as well as shut the mouth of all the assholes who say we got hit simply because we support Israel.

BTW, this being Saudi Arabia, what'll you think these guys will get, especially if the Saudis want to make a point, be it propagandish or not?

Sword to the head, or stoned? [devil]
