|
|
This weekend, a Canadian Aramcon was attacked by a Saudi with a meat cleaver in a popular shopping mall in Al Khobar. These attacks are becoming a regular occurrence. This happened in front of his wife and children. Last week a Danish expat was attacked and recently there was a shooting in Riyadh.
Amazingly, Aramco has been silent about this - no warnings, no advice - NOTHING! |

The article stated, "The police spokesman said an investigation has been launched to ascertain the motive behind the attack."
Huh?
Maybe the investigation took.... wait.... what's the smallest unit/measurement of time? I know we normally we use seconds, but in this case, I think we need to work with something smaller.
I can almost see the key slowing turning the dead bolt.  |

No they aren't. People in the USA are complaining about the murderous police on a daily basis. Three attacks in Saudi Arabia is pale in comparison to the amount of murders that occur in the USA month to month. Mexico is also out of control with violence. |

KSA government does not report the murder rate--World Health Org has to guess! Three attacks on white foreigners in a month, after years of none, sounds like an uptick in hate crimes. And don't forget the hate attack in Al-Hasa recently. Still, Saudi homicide rate can't be nearly as high as USA, but they catch up for it by allowing drivers to slaughter each other on the highways. Six of one, half dozen of another. One less reason to leave your residential storage unit. Sorry, I mean your "villa". |
