Saudis try to tackle terrorism, reforms
By Thomas W. Lippman
Saudi Arabia is beginning to look like a society under siege.
At Riyadhs trendiest shopping mall on a quiet afternoon last month, security officers were stopping vehicles entering the parking garage, opening hoods and trunks in search of explosives. At the Marriott Hotel, near the Petroleum Ministry, and at other hotels in the capital that cater to Westerners, ground-floor windows have been bricked up and Jersey barriers installed across driveways. Out at the airport, the fence around the Royal Terminal, which serves the king and the princes of the House of Saud, is topped with razor wire. On Riyadhs main boulevards, and on the causeway connecting the kingdom with Bahrain, police have set up security checkpoints.
These are surprising sights in a country that has always prided itself on its law-and-order, crime-free environment. They reflect the unhappy fact that for the past 13 months, Saudi Arabia has been afflicted by an escalating wave of terrorist violence aimed at bringing down the regime, purging the country of Western influence and choking off the nascent liberalization of Saudi society. Scores of people have died in bombings and shootings at housing compounds where foreigners live and at oil industry facilities, including the May 29 attack in Khobar that claimed 22 victims. Newspapers report frequent shootouts between security forces and suspected terrorists whose arsenals of weapons and explosives are distressingly large.
The desperadoes are Saudis, nurtured in an extremist environment that the government itself has long fostered. They are linked to al-Qaida and sympathetic to their countryman Osama bin Laden which has predictably stirred speculation about the stability of the kingdom. Bin Laden and his followers have made clear that they are committed to overthrowing the House of Saud. Given the increasing audacity of the terrorists, the countrys swelling ranks of unemployed malcontents and the apparent indecisiveness of the senior princes, it might appear that the insurgency could indeed bring down the regime or at least ignite a civil war. Yet forecasting the demise of the Saudi monarchy would be premature at best and probably wrong.
MUCH MORE (interesting thoughts on Saudi Royal family)
An L-1 visa nurse?
was "new concept" voted the most over used catch phrase in 99?
When I was doing the searches in post #3334, there were
several old articles from before 9-11 and more than one about OBl and Saudi.
Maybe start with the 1425 in front first or without it, I went
to the first 10 pages or so.
Ping to post #3333...
It is very possible, I read about the problems of finding nurses who speak english.
It was on Jim Bohannon's hour long news report that comes on the radio very early.
Thanks Ruth I will check that out. I'm off today so I can be a FReeping maniac. lol
I'm first going to check that thread re: the test the administration wants to give us to see if we're mentally ill and then drug us.
I wonder if there's a test/drug for FReepitis.
If you dont mind my asking, how much does that site cost each month? You can freep mail me if you dont wanna make that public.
"Test for Freepitus"
1. look at computer, is it turned on?

better have a fast get-a-way car waiting.......run. run fast.

MY tagline should say FR/Nascar (maybe I'll change it)done
These people do not want litigation directed at them, however, the Islamists cannot prevent the feelings of hatred imbued in so many people with each beheading of innocent people. Islamists need to begin doing more than speaking out against these crimes - if they are to be believed, they must assist in weeding out those of their own who perpetrate them. Aiding and abetting (protecting) murderers is ALSO a crime. Should these actions continue, there will come a time when there is NO tolerance for those who perpetrate these savage acts. The actions of these barbarians only serves to make us want to eradicate them more fervently. They serve to remind us that the War on Terror is justified and needs to be put in higher gear.
Don't miss the report below either about the Journalist that was beheaded.
This Ukrainian upcoming election will be one to watch too. Ukraine has been trying to break out of Russian influence. They also have been a black market hub between weapons and rogue markets.
If Ukraine can successfully break free of Russia, establish their borders and join NATO....there will be a greater chance to eliminating the Dubai style laundering issues.
