Do we know for a fact that the children and other people killed in Riyadh included Moslems? (There's been a lot of evidence suggesting that many or most of them were Lebanese Christian Arabs.) The Saudis might just be claiming that the dead included Moslems for propaganda purposes.

I assume that the compound guards killed were Muslims. Locals, even a Sudanese reported.

Absolutely the Saudi govt. was trying to emphasize Muslims died. The only evidence offered that a Muslim resident died was that photo-op Koran and Passports pic the Saudis offered.

Arab press repeatedly states "Arabs and Muslims died" - ie, not all victims were Muslim.
