I guess we can hold out hope that they’ll all manage to kill each other off before they get around to us.

“I guess we can hold out hope that they’ll all manage to kill each other off before they get around to us.”

The numbers are not on our side, population wise.

From the Times of Oman: http://timesofoman.com/article/65010/World/GCC/17-dead-in-Saudi-Arabia-mosque-bomb-attack

...reporting 17 dead.

Riyadh: A "terrorist" bomb targeting a mosque used by Saudi police killed at least 17 people Thursday in the southern city of Abha, state television El-Ikhbariya reported.

The explosion took place as worshippers were praying at a mosque used by Saudi special forces in Abha, the broadcaster said, describing it as a "terrorist" attack. It gave no further details. An interior ministry spokesman confirmed the attack but gave a slightly lower toll of "more than 13" dead.

The victims were members of a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit, the spokesman told AFP. "It's confirmed there's an explosion and there's more than 13 (killed)... in a mosque," the spokesman said.

The explosion happened at the headquarters of the SWAT team, which is tasked with domestic security, he added. It was too early to say who may have carried out the attack, he added.


Also from the International Business Times:

A suicide bomb attack on a mosque in the Saudi Arabian city of Abha has left at least 17 people dead, according to state broadcaster El-Ikhbariya.

The bomber detonated an explosive as security forces in the Tawari neighbourhood performed noon prayers. More than 30 people were injured in the blast, according to reports from the scene

A security spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of the Interior confirmed the deaths of at least 10 special emergency forces members to news source Alhakea.

The spokesman later told the AFP that "more than 13" security forces members died. Those targeted were members of a SWAT unit, the spokesman said.

It was too early to say who may have carried out the attack, he added. The remains of a suicide belt were reportedly found at the scene.

Islamic State (Isis) jihadists have kept Saudi Arabia on alert recently as a series of attacks that killed police and members of the Shiite minority in the country have been attributed to them.

Meanwhile, the U.S. gov’t assured everyone that the attack was not related to islam and was not a terrorist attack.

Then, the Kardashians were shown on ‘Entertainment Tonight’ and ‘The View’.

Well, Obama is making sure Iran gets a lot more money. They are an enemy of Saudi Arabia and they like to sponsor terror.
