Saudis Report Plot To Assassinate Obama
CBS News ^ | April 6, 2009 11:02 AM | Staff

The Saudi Arabian newspaper al-Watan reported today that Turkish security services have arrested a man of Syrian origins Friday in connection with a plot to assassinate President Barack Obama during his current visit to Turkey.

The man, who was carrying an Al-Jazeera TV ID card in the name of M.G., confessed after his arrest that he was planning on stabbing the U.S. president with a knife during the Alliance of Civilizations summit held in Istanbul, adding that he had three other accomplices to help him execute his plan.

According to the paper, Turkish investigators were trying to verify whether the Qatari-based Arab TV channel has truly issued the ID card produced by the man, or if it’s a forged copy.

The suspect, a permanent resident of Istanbul, has been regularly attending all conferences and events relating to the Middle East held in the city.

If he dies in office, he will be praised as a deity more powerful than John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King.

I am extremely concerned that the rights of these alleged freedom fighters might have been violated.....

Rhetorical Question: Do you think the Saudis used torture to get the confesssion?

Would the moonbats approve?

Unfortunately correct. Best case for us to see the scum frog-marched to the Big House.

Exactly! We can't have that. He's gotta be drummed out of office on his own merit.

This is not the way I want Obama to leave office. I’d prefer he be voted out as a failure.

Must not be allowed. Not even by a Muslim with a knife. Last thing we need is for O to become a martyr.

Word of advice Barry, if you are going to stage an assination attempt to revive your flagging pole numbers he’s going to at least have to get off a shot at you. Arresting some guy who claims he was going to stab you just does not pass the smell test.
