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.

Just another night in the hood down on Arab Street.

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....

I wonder if the House of Saud will request a refund of the "protection money" they paid AQ to live in safety?

F'em

Again I quote DeNiros roll as Capone in Untouchables....
" I wannam Dead , I want their families dead I want thier house burned to the F' Ing ground!"

You are correct 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. It would have been much better if Mohammad Atta and his co-terrorists would have been killed when they were little!!!

Only 4 villas out of 200 were foreign. 2 German and 1 (snicker) French.

You see the pattern. It will be repeated here. Jewish schools/daycares, federal government worker daycares, schoolbuses on field trips, etc.

I am hearing that they are not Saudis but Arab ex-patriats-such as Palestinians and Lebanese people working in the kingdom. This really confuses me if Al Qaeda targeted them. The Palestinians are the poster children for the arab terrorists cause. It does not make sense that they would target them. I am wondering if(like the bombed Chinese embassy during the Kosovo conflict)they had an old map and missed their intended target.....

Cut it out. You're as low as a stinking Palestinian cheering in the street when foreign babies/children are wounded or killed.

Maybe to reduce loyal palace workers..
