RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - A French national was shot and killed in the Saudi Arabian city of Jiddah early Sunday, the Interior Ministry said.
The man was shot at 1 a.m. in the Red Sea port city. The ministry did not name the victim or provide details.
The attack was the latest in a rash of violence directed toward foreigners. Some attacks have been carried out by militants bent on driving foreigners out of the country to hurt the economy, but the motive behind Sunday's shooting wasn't immediately known.
The Saudi economy, particularly the oil sector, depends on foreign workers.
In the most recent incident, gunmen last week killed a British man working for the telecommunications corporation Marconi a week ago in eastern Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
No. The French smell like other human beings. I have to think it just looked Western to them and that had they seen by his passport or other documents that his government was friendly to their cause, they would not have killed him.
I've lost track of the number of non-Muslims murdered, beheaded, or blown to pieces for simply being non-Muslim in close proximity to lunatic Muslims...
The silence from the Muslim community is deafening...
Can't you imagine the chaos and outrage we'd be subjected to if a few Muslims were taken off the streets of America, beheaded and hung from a bridge?
Semper Fi
