I wonder why they were speaking English? Or has it been established that they were speaking English? Maybe the woman who tipped off police is a foreigner or naturalized citizen who could understand whatever language it was they were speaking? Something to think about.

Yes it has been established that they were indeed speaking English. The newsman on FoxNews asked the same question. I will attempt to give you an answer. The Moslem religion is made up of people from many nations. Some speak Arabic, while others obviously speak their native tongues. Therefore if you are from Afghanistan you may speak Tajik or Pushtun or Uzbek. From Iran you may speak Farsi (Persian). However these people nearly all speak English in one form or another, so it follows that when a Moslem from Saudi Arabia meets a Moslem from Iran, their only form of communication is more than likely English.
