Doctor: Saudi Family Hammered Nails Into Sri Lankan Maid
AOL News ^ | August 25, 2010 | Dana Kennedy

(Aug. 25) -- A 50-year-old Sri Lankan woman who worked as a maid for a large family in Saudi Arabia for five months was allegedly tortured by some of the family members hammering nails into her body, doctors said.

The woman, who flew back to Colombo, Sri Lanka, from Riyadh on Saturday night, was brought to the hospital by her concerned children Monday. X-rays showed there were 23 nails embedded in her body.

"Some of the nails were 2 inches long," Dr. Prabath Gajadeera of Kamburupitiya Base Hospital told AOL News today. "Most of the nails were embedded in her arms and legs. She didn't even realize how many were in there."

Gajadeera said the woman told doctors that the Saudi family allegedly tortured her with nails and threatened her life with knives during her employment with them.

Was this reported on CNN? /s

Don't hold your breath for Fox to report it either. They are stinking with Saudi money.

Give me one reason why we should not nuke SA then take their oil.

Here's why it won't happen --- when you're a guest of an Arab, you are treated like a king or queen... well - kings and queens of time past... that good. And if you're NOT an esteemed guest, you get nailed. If you're lucky. Or buried in the back yard after weeks of torture.

Our liberal overlords seem to feel they've always deserved to be treated like royalty - and they lack the wit to understand how quickly the tables will turn on them if we lose power. In short, they'll be nailed... When it comes to radical liberal elites, flattery works every time. So no, we're not going to do anything - until it's too late.

Muslims being Muslim

ISlam Delenda Est - if you doubt the necessity , remember teh 23 nails driven into a conscious female by a Saudi Muslim.

None that I can think of. I’ve supported that idea for 2 decades now.

Saudi Arabia, not Iran, with its vast petroleum income and militant Wahhabi exports, is the leader of terrorism in the world today.

I’d cheer if they were nuked flat and glassy....

Thanks rightwingintelligentsia.
A 50-year-old Sri Lankan woman... who flew back to Colombo, Sri Lanka, from Riyadh on Saturday night, was brought to the hospital by her concerned children Monday. X-rays showed there were 23 nails embedded in her body.
Sounds like she was lucky and got a menial job with one of the nicer families.

“Because it is not our oil”

Could easily be. Check the rules of war.

Also, check laws regarding theft. Seems that which is stolen is always stolen. Saudi wells were once American owned.

Time to repossess.

This Saudi family are, no doubt, Moderate Muslims and would be an asset to the Ground Zero mosque supporters. I’m sure Imam Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Katie Couric, Chrissy Matthews, Allan Colmes, and most Liberals would be proud to consider them friends and allies.

We have had cases of SLAVERY right here in the USA. One in Quincy MA, where a Sri Lanken maid was forced to dwell on the floor in the corner of a room, was beaten and sexually abused, received no compensation for doing all of the housework, etc.

When questioned, the Saudi Doctor and his wife said, “This is how we do things in our country!”

I am confused by the x-rays in the photos shown at the site.

There does not seem to be an foreshortening of any the nails. They all appear to have been laid full-length and parallel to the surface of the film. The so-called torturers would have had to do a significant amount of planning to pull that off.

Hm?...This needs a closer look. Fraud maybe?

Could have been worse. They could haved forced her to pray or read the bible. And they could have been fundamental Chriasians.
