Dead Briton dragged through streets after Saudi attack: reports

Sat May 29, 7:41 PM ET

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's newspapers said that the body of a British national feared killed in attacks by alleged Al-Qaeda-linked gunmen in eastern Saudi Arabia was dragged for over a mile (1.6 kilometres) behind a car.

According to the Mail on Sunday and The Observer, a British oil company executive was definitely among the victims of the attack at a compound in the Saudi oil city of Al-Khobar on Saturday.

Security forces found his body a mile away from the residential area where he was killed in front of his work colleagues, the newspaper said.

The assailants, suspected Islamic militants, led attacks against two oil facilities in Al-Khobar, then took an unknown number of civilians hostage at a nearby housing complex.

At least 11 people were reported killed so far in the violence, but numbers were expected to rise as Saudi security forces besieged the assailants, who were holed up in a building with the hostages.

One American was confirmed dead among at least four Westerners reported killed.

Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz said about 10 Saudis and foreigners were killed. He put at "four or five" the number of attackers "who have taken refuge in the compound where they are besieged."

The suspected Islamist extremists later released eight of their captives, who reported that more than 50 people were still being held.

Shortly afterwards gunfire could be heard from the hostage drama scene.

Hate to blow your fantasy, but Christianity has oceans full of blood on it's hands as well.

REALLY ?? What a shock ... now, name the last Christian massacre that happened that was not a direct result of attacks be muslims.

Hint: you better reach back further than 100 years.

We got better, they failed.

And a billion years ago our ancestors crept out of the oceans on fins. Apparently your's recently arrived on shore....

Does Jasper, Texas bring back any memories? Muslims don't have an exclusive on cruelty!

And a billion years ago our ancestors crept out of the oceans on fins

and this is a fantasy? It's certainly a possibility......although a billion years may be a bit excessive...

And Genesis is a fact...or is it just faith?

"Does Jasper, Texas bring back any memories?"

Hey, don't f*ck-up my buzz, dude. I'm trying to forget that night. I'd never done that sh*t before, honest.

What does Genesis have to do with my post?

Christianity underwent a reformation a long time ago. Islam has never been reformed. Anyone who can't tell the difference between current events and the Middle Ages should be kept away from sharp objects....

I slept in Khobar Towers the week before it was blown up and our folks maimed and murdered. The strange thing is I always felt relatively safe in Saudi, even in the gold markets and restaurants downtown.

The evil of Islam that has awakened there is truly shocking. In the past century, the United States has battled Japanese militarism, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism.

Now we battle another evil launched from the gates of Hell itself.

I wonder what Kerry, Hillary, and Teddy have to say now? Should we "get out Saudi now!" If they had their way, the only place we Americans would dare tread is the "hallowed" halls of the UN in the New York--and you are not safe there.

Part of the mindless rage and murder we see is palpable fear on the part of the Muslim devils. We are defeating them in their own backyard. We are taking this war to them. They know it. That is why they murder in every shocking way that can (be-headings, dragging, nail bombs). They want to put fear in our hearts.

The Saudis need the West to profit from their oil (now at record prices). The Islamic murderers know this--and this attack was all about driving us out.

A. The guys who did this to James Byrd did not claim to be acting as agents of God.

B. Had they claimed to be acting as agents of God, true Believers would have expressed disgust, horror, and shock that anyone could claim to do this in God's name.

C. In parts of the Muslim world, like Sudan, the rape, mutilation, torture, enslavement, and murder of non-Muslims is given wholesale support by the state.

D. You might find DemocratUnderground.com more to your liking.

"Caucasian visitor hero star of the movie rescues her. "

But he had no choice but to rescue her. He was the only one who knew that she wasn't really a virgin, and that if she were thrown into the volcano the God Of The Volcano would destroy all of them, including himself.

The movies didn't show the substitite real virgin that replaced her.

These idiots. Don't they realize that the Brits are some of the toughest fighters on the face of the earth? They stood up to Hitler when the rest of Europe caved.... long BEFORE the U.S. came to help in WWII.

These Muslim radicals have to be some of the dumbest creatures ever born.

Didn't you see that earlier post about all the tornado alerts? Do a search quick, you may need to sit in the bathtub.

Drag the jihadist swine down the main street there.

I predict that there will someday be a child's game of "Cowboys and Muslims."

Are you drunk? You make no sense.
