At least 100 wounded in Riyadh bombing: compound manager
yahoo (AFP) ^ | 1//9/03

Posted on 11/08/2003 5:39:23 PM PST by jonatron

At least 100 people, mostly children, were wounded when a bomb rocked the al-Muhaya residential compound west of Riyadh toward midnight (2100 GMT), the compound's manager told AFP.

"There are no less than 100 wounded, most of them children," Hanadi al-Khandakli said, adding she could not immediately tell whether there were any fatalities.

Khandaqli, who was in the compound at the time of the attack, said "there was gunfire followed by a blast, and a second blast minutes later."

She said the complex comprised 200 villas, four of which are inhabited by Western families, including two German and one French.

The Saudies are LONG OVERDUE to have suffered from the madness they nurtured, financed and empowered....

It can TRULY be said, that the Saudies deserved some problems from this AQ crowd....

From the description of the compound's residents, it sounds like there's 49 chances out of 50 that they managed to kill a bunch of Saudis. I wonder if they get their virgins in friendly fire incidents.

I could care less what you think. I know 4 Saudis and each one of them is the biggest piece of excrement I've ever met!! They constantly tried to get me to hate Jews (Blamed them for 9-11...the Jews control the world..Jews control the US...etc...). That is what they lived for. I hope this is only the beginning!!!! I hope their hell hole Islam-land burns!!

Of course....midnight...residential....where else would a terrorist find sleeping babies....

as a terrorist like this would probably casually comment:
"Hey, it's what I do, man!".

Please, let's not go overboard on here with the "racist" accusations. I did not see anything racial in his post. He was speaking about children being schooled to kill. It happens they are Arabs. Likely he would have said the same if it were German, Martian or whatever other race of children being similarly trained.

I did find his comments over the top. My point here, though, is to object to the casual use of the very overused charge, "You are a racist." As for his being a creep, well, you may have a point.

To stay on that subject, would the world be better off if children that have been indoctrinated to become terrorist were killed rather than waiting for them to grow into terrorists? Would you like to elaborate or does "creep" sum up your discussion on the matter.

You hit it on the head. These people are enemies. The indoctrination centers are why Israel is such a mess. If this keeps up America will soon look like Israel. Some people think like dems (dems often throw the racist word around too) and just dont get it. In a poll something like 90% of Saudis supported Osama Bin Laden and were happy that 9-11 happened. I hope these subhumans blow each other to smithereens!!!!!

I see- your plan is to strike preemptively and kill every child in the Middle East on the chance that they just might become a terrorist?

Didn't guys named the Pharaoh and Herod have the same plan for the genocide of children they thought might become enemies?

I thought Coroner was bad, but you're even worse

Hey Wacky, If you could go back in time (knowing what they would later do) and kill Mohammad Atta and the other 18 when they were 5 years old. Would you and why or why not??

One more Question. Did you ever see pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or Dresden. If so was it wrong for those pre-emptive attacks (a lot of innocent children were killed that probably were not indoctrinated to hate us for their entire lives)?????

Since we do not have a time machine and cannot know what a five year old will do 20 years from now, your hypothetical is irrelevant to any meaningful discussion.

The Dresden attack was immoral.
The use of the atom bomb is a complex moral question on which I have been unable to form a definitive answer.

No batch of kids deserve this, except the ones that have been indoctrinated since birth to hate and want to murder infidels. They are so cute while they rock back and forth in their Saudi indoctrination centers reciting the koran and chanting kill the sons and daughters of apes and pigs, death to America etc... over and over and over again, training to become future terrorists......This will save the peace of America and the world in the future.

You do have a point .... it's hard to imagine that we might have to inflict the peace of Carthage on the world of islam.

But they WORKED. In total war sometimes the optimum solution is not the moral solution.

The West will be at total war with islam in time. The question is, do we fight it on our terms or do we let the infant level of power that islam wields grow until it actually has a chance to kill us all.

I understand that this is a mostly Arab residential distric in the vicinity of a bunch of embassies. I suspect that the bombers were stopped short of their intended target and the bomb was detonated in this neighborhood rather than in front of an embassy.

Also I heard that everything about the bomb resembles the bomb that went off a while back. That tells me that the bomb makers weren't captured last time.
