Four French Slain in Saudi Arabia

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) In the first major attack against foreigners since 2004, four French nationals have died. They were shot in their car by unknown gunmen while driving in northwest Saudi Arabia near the holy Muslim city of Medina. Three died at the scene and the fourth succumbed to his wounds in the hospital.

At the time of the attack, nine total French nationals, some Muslim, were reportedly (1) going to Mecca for a pilgrimage or (2) returning from a tour of historical sites. There has been no confirmation either way.

Meanwhile, killers swearing allegiance to al-Qaeda vowed last month to renew their campaign to rid Westerners from the kingdom. They made the announcement on a website that had been dormant for about two years. As a consequence, I suppose we should be expecting more attacks on Westerners in Saudi Arabia.

French President Jacques Chirac expressed shock, calling the attack "hateful." Since it happens regularly, it's not clear why he would be shocked that radical Islamists murder innocent people. Rather than shocked, he should be pissed.

2 Hmmm frenchie liberals (any other kind of frogs?) get wacked by "freedom fighters" for the religion of peace. I am not sure weather to laugh at the dead frogs or cry for them and their families. It sure is hard to feel sorry for any lefties though since they are too busy attacking the troops, and defending or making excuses for the terrorists. I think this time I will take pity on the french who died as innocent men whose only crime was being a infidel. Maybe, just maybe the next time a US soldier is killed the lefties will remember this act of compassion from me but I really doubt it.

Do you think ANYONE cares about your acts of compassion or any other acts of yours for that
matter?

Hate to break it to you Legrand, but no one even knows you're alive.
