I'm trying to picture this.
Why aren't these 'contractors' armed?

It would seem to me that, if I was to sign on to go overseas in a hostile enviornment, for whatever reason ... I'd at least be trained to watch out for and be prepared to protect myself.

When my daughter was a teenager, and we went out for a few hours, I left the loaded 9mm with her. She knows what to do and when and she was 16 or 17 at the time. (Forget the 'too young' flames ... I won't respond)

Think the royal family is getting alarmed yet?

I doubt it. Just a bunch of foreigners.

"Zionism is behind terrorist actions in the kingdom," the Saudi Press Agency quoted Crown Prince Abdullah as telling a gathering of princes in Jiddah.

Zionism had misled "some of our sons," he said without elaborating.

said he believed foreign hands were behind the recent terrorist attacks in the Kingdom......

A river in Egypt.....denial.

And so it begins.

The theater of conflict has been increased to include the primary industrial resources in the Kingdom. The attack was of course Al Queda, not Zionists and the lack of agreement between the King in waiting and the Ambassador to the UK indicates the depth of the problem.

Good Find. Rather a larger attack than first reported.
