My, My, how fast the Saudi's can act when some of their own people get blown-up!

Obadiah Abdullah, 32, was working for defense contractor Vinnell Corp. when he was killed along with 34 others in car-bomb attacks Monday, May 12, 2003, in Riyadh. Abdullah was a devout convert to Islam who went to work in Saudi Arabia in part because he was attracted to the job, but partly so he could make a pilgrimage to Mecca, friends and relatives said.

Any bets on how long it will take the Saudis to chop off their heads?

Pictures of Peace, ping.

Heads will roll, but it would be good to know their names, their family connections within Kingdom of Saud. That might be hushed up, so many influential Sauds seem to be involved, or at least, sympathetic to terrorists.

My guess...

less than a week, UNLESS one of them gets longer by putting a finger on his cohorts, comrade-killers.

I expect pictures on the internet next week... and censorship at some websites because pictures of decapitated terrorists MIGHT be offensive and despiriting to Muslims... (or the 'anti violence' types). You know... the "this is a family site" types, who want to boil everything down to the level of what THEY think a fourteen year old girl should be allowed to see.

I look forward to the videos... should they ever be made available.

Islamists should fear. Terrorists need to see the ignominy of their end. I hope somebody has the courage and first amendment balls, to get tape, pictures and report it around the clock for a week or so.

God knows we saw what the bad guys did for a year. I still see it at night when I sleep. THEY need something for their dream life other than false hopes for 72 virgins...

Ain't gonna touch that one.

But I bet they don't spend more than two years in "prison" before the Saudis lose 'em, turn 'em loose or let them escape.

If anyone thinks that the Saudi Royal clan will do something rash and upset the majority of the general population, well ... I got this bridge, see, on some swamp ground down in Alabama I'd like to sell, cheap.

Thanks for the ping.

This will be nothing but a show trial......they found their scapegoats.

Why is it that when I read this Headline, I thought of that line in Casablanca at the end of the movie when Claude Rains says, "... round up the usual suspects"?

[crazykatz]

The picture of the funeral of those two little Orthodox Christian children is a really sad one. Usually caskets are open in such a service.... I can only imagine WHY they are not open. Those poor babies and their poor families.

Lord have mercy. Rest in peace, little ones.

It will be especially telling if none of the suspects are Saudis. Who ARE their usual suspects, anyway? Certainly not Wahabbists, their chosen path.

Kind of like what happened in Yemen, with the USS Cole murderers, yes? Someone just left them in a room... with a window.

[cgk]

Yes, I posted that one specifically. This is what they do to their own; Christian or not, those little children were Jordanians. I pray for every life lost in these terror attacks, in addition to their families' finding peace. But it always hurts more to see innocent children taken away, no matter their religion or race.

I tend to agree. Here's a guess: The Saudis realize that they can no longer play the same old game of turning the terrorists attention away from the kingdom by directing them towards jews and the west. It will be interesting to see how the Saudis try to invent a NEW GAME of directing the terrorists attention towards jews and the west. All they are asking for now is a little time away from the world spotlight so they can put together a new plan.
