Christian Arabs possible attack targets

Nina Jibran had everything to live for. The Lebanese school teacher was recently married, pregnant and living in a comfortable compound in Riyadh.

There was even talk of her moving to Canada with her husband, an engineer who worked for a multinational advertising agency.

But then, shortly after the couple returned home from an obstetrician's appointment last Saturday, a suicide bomber ripped through the gates of their residential area, shredding their lives and sparking outrage in Saudi Arabia. Ms. Jibran was among the 17 dead, and her husband, Eliyas, among the more than 120 injured.

"Nina told me that she was happy in Riyadh and was preparing to leave for Canada as soon as she got her papers," relative Ezabel Matta told the London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.

My 3 friends who had visited Iraq in the late 80s said it was a wonderful place. The most open, liberal, and progressive country in the Middle East. Women walked the streets alone. They dressed as the chose to. All religions were freely practiced.

I may have missed it but I don't remember seeing any reports, Whore or not, saying Saddam had persecuted Christians. And if he did I would think it would have been Junior's biggest stated justification for war.
