The King Arrests 700 Muslims in Saudi

King Abdullah the so called liberator of the kingdom has said that his goverment has arrested, what he calls Muslim Millitants, who had planned attack on foreign interests. Al Jazeera reports suggest that of those arrested about 520 are still in detention. Yeah right knowing saudi they are probably alll in detention.

The interior ministry statement read out on Saudi television said those detained were of various nationalities and were part of a wider plot managed from abroad.

The statement said: "Security forces managed to arrest one cell in the Eastern Province led by African residents ... their concern was to get close to people working in the oil sector in order to find work in oil installations.

"They planned in fact to attack an oil installation and security target with rigged cars [car bombs]."

Other cells were said to have been broken up which planned attacks on economic targets in the world's largest oil exporter.

Foreign co-ordination

Some of the plots were said to have been hatched in co-ordination with Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda second-in-command.

The statement said that those organising people to come from abroad had taken "advantage of the facilities granted to the Muslim faithful to come to Mecca for the annual pilgrimage or to do the omra," or minor pilgrimage".

One cell member was said to have been found with a taped message from al-Zawahiri.

The kingdom has suffered several attacks blamed on al-Qaeda and mainly targeting westerners since 2003, but a crackdown has quelled attacks over the past two years.

The Saudi Goverment says that they had palnne to attack oil feilds, which would distrupt production. As saudi in the Jeddah oild conferance had promised to increase production. How stupid are the arabs. My god, you have the power, you have what people want Oil, you can put pressure on other countries, who want your oil, instead western powers place pressure on the arabs to increase production since the price of oil has spiked at $134 per barrell. Causing prices at the pumps to increase which is mostly due to taxes. I say the arabs should use their brains and use this as an advantage.

Condoleezza Rice Israel is a Threat

Today Ms Rice the Us secretary of state is visiting the middle east to discuss the so called peace map between palestine and Israel. She has not exactly condemd the recent proposed development of new Israeli homes, what she has quoted as saying is "it is a problem". Well of obviously it is a problem. You idiot!!



The UN says it does nto "recognise the Annexation of the area" that is East Jerusalum. Yes it does, as it has nto imposed and type of sanction, or prevent aid in the region of $40 billion dollars per year reaching the Israeli Army alone. But yet they do not mind placing sanctions on the Gaza Strip.

There are currently 180,000 jews living in the east Jerusalem, while another 270,000 illegally live in settlements in the West Bank.

Meanwhile, an Israeli human rights group released a videotape which it said showed the beginning of an attack on Palestinian farmers by masked, stick-wielding Jewish settlers.

The footage, which was distributed by the B'Tselem group, shows four people with their faces hidden approaching the farmers near the Susia settlement outside Hebron in the West Bank.

One strikes a blow before the camera is dropped. B'Tselem said that the woman who was filming ran to get help.

The group has provided about 100 cameras to Palestinians in the past year in a project called 'Shooting Back' which attempts to document rights abuses in the West Bank.

Israeli police said they were investigating reports of an incident near Susia but so far no arrests had been made.
