Hmmm... Are Blair/Bush Really Gunning for Saudi Leaders?

Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit


[On the heels of *two* highly derogatory articles in the English
press about the 'House of Saud,' here we have a denial of a US
report/rumor in the [right-wing Moonie-owned] Washington Times
alleging an assassination attempt 'earlier this month' against Saudi
King Fahd... Which just happened to surface now... Which is hardly
believable, because every Saudi knows that King Fahd is no longer in
charge, and any assassination attempt would be against one prince or
another, depending on sympathies.

Looks like the desert kingdom truly is on the block, along with the
rest of the middle east and south asia, which Dummy and his CIA are
destablizing at an alarming rate, considering they are in well over
their heads. It's all very well to want to take over the oil in the
entire region, but get a grip, guys -- you have to be able to drill
it, refine it, and ship it in order to make any big corrupt bucks
from it. If the entire middle east is a sea of radioactive glass with
poison gas soup for weather, all that black gold won't make money for
anyone this century -- not even Rummy, Dummy, Scummy, Cheney and
Halliburton. ]

Riyadh denies assassination attempt on King Fahd 

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia strongly denied Thursday a US press report that
Saudi King Fahd had been the target of a failed assassination attempt
earlier this month in the kingdom.

"The report (published by the Washington Times) is totally baseless,"
a spokesman from the Saudi embassy in Washington said, quoted by
newspapers here.

The Washington Times on Wednesday quoted US intelligence officials as
saying that a "terrorist" had tried to assassinate King Fahd on
November 10 by attacking his motorcade while it passed through
Riyadh.

"King Fahd's motorcade has not met with any traffic accident in
Riyadh," the embassy spokesman stressed.

The paper said King Fahd had not been injured by an "apparently lone
terrorist who drove his car into the king's heavily-guarded motorcade
but missed in his attempt to crash into the monarch's limousine."

The car instead hit another vehicle that was not carrying the king.
Security guards took the man into custody, it said.

No weapons or explosives were found and that the action did not
appear to be part of a terrorist plot, the Washington Times added.

Two weeks ago, oil-rich Saudi Arabia marked King Fahd's 20 years in
power. The 78-year-old ailing monarch has delegated many of his
responsibilities to his half-brother and Crown Prince Abdullah bin
Abdul Aziz who has been running the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom
over the past few years. ( AFP )
