I hope it's true. We need to stop killing fire ants with an ice pick and use some gasoline.

Later dude.

Got to go home to the lovely LE.

Here is the FOX News report of the story :

Saudi Al Qaeda Leader Killed in Riyadh

Friday, June 18, 2004

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia  — The leader of Al Qaeda (search) in Saudi Arabia (search) was believed killed in a raid in the capital Friday, hours after his group claimed the beheading of an American engineer, Saudi security officials said.

A U.S. official confirmed that Abdulaziz al-Moqrin (search) has been killed. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information.

To establish identities, one Saudi official said forensic tests would be conducted on three bodies of militants killed in a shootout in a downtown neighborhood shortly after the discovery of Paul M. Johnson Jr.'s (search) body.

The killing of al-Moqrin, 31, would be a coup for the Saudi goverment, which has been under intense pressure to halt a wave of attacks against Westerners in the kingdom.

The Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya satellite station, which first reported al-Moqrin's death, said two other militants were also killed in the raid, and another was wounded and arrested. All three dead militants were on Saudi Arabia's list of most wanted men, security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Two suspects escaped, he said, said one Saudi security official who took part in the raid.

Al-Moqrin, who trained with Usama bin Laden (search) in Afghanistan, is believed to be the leader of the group calling itself Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which claimed responsibility for Johnson's beheading.

Al-Moqrin's group has also claimed responsibility for most attacks against Westerners in Saudi Arabia in the past two months.


FOX News just now reports that U.S. Intel confirms this report.

Hello Amy and FRiends! Just stopping in for a second to say goodbye before we leave on vacation (Yippee!!).

I'll be keeping an eye out for an internet connection during our travels. I'll check in when I can.

You all take care. I'll be back on July 1st. HUGS!

lucky you!

You can say that again! :-)

MB, you're gonna be out until July 1st?

Yep! We're going to visit DC and then head down to the Carolinas. That's a part of the country that I don't know very well. Looking forward to seeing the WWII memorial while in DC. My husband is going to drive a NASCAR at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte. He is agreeable to doing anything I want to do, as long as he gets to do that. Sounds like a good deal to me. LOL!

I am going to miss everyone here. We will have our laptop, so I should be able to check in every so often. You probably won't even know I am gone. LOL.

It was good news to hear about the death of a couple of the murderings SOBs.

Since we are in a gang war, I think we should quit giving them better treatment than they deserve. Time to start executing the terrorists instead of taking them as prisoners.

Good evening, everyone.

Come over and vent tonight. It is important that we re-elect President Bush.

TGIF everybody!

What Doctors say and what they really mean

"This should be taken care of right away."
"I'd planned a trip to Hawaii next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before it cures itself."

"Welllllll, what have we here..."
Since he hasn't the foggiest notion of what it is, the Doctor is hoping you will give him a clue.

"We'll see."
"First I have to check my malpractice insurance."

"Let me check your medical history."
"I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending any more time with you."

"Why don't we make another appointment later in the week."
"I'm playing golf this afternoon, and this a waste of time."
-or- I need the money, so I'm charging you for another office visit."

"We have some good news and some bad news."
The good news is he's going to buy that new BMW, and the bad news is you're going to pay for it.

"Let's see how it develops."
"Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured."

"Let me schedule you for some tests."
"I have a 40% interest in the lab."

"How are we today?"
"I feel great. You, on the other hand, look like hell."

"I'd like to prescribe a new drug."
"I'm writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig."

"If it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call."
"I don't know what the hell it is. Maybe it will go away by itself."

"Do you suppose all of this stress could be affecting your nerves?"
He thinks you are crazy and is hoping to find a psychiatrist who will split fees.

Hi, Victoria. Those are cute! Sometimes I've wondered about the ownership in the lab. :~)

How are you this evening.

I've been ranting this afternoon. Part of the time at the TV and a couple of times on the thread.

Maybe some music will pick things up around here. Have anything in mind?
