Three Saudi security guards beheaded


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Three Saudi security guards were beheaded Sunday in northern Saudi Arabia after being convicted of trafficking in hashish and using government vehicles to transport the drug, the Interior Ministry said.

Khamis bin Mabrouk al-Sayeri, Nasser bin Mohammed al-Fahadi and Zidan al-Oqaili al-Anzi were arrested loading an undisclosed amount of hashish into vehicles belonging to Saudi border guards, officials said.

The guards were later convicted of drug trafficking and breaching the state's trust for using the vehicles.

They were beheaded in the northern border city of Arar, according to the Interior Ministry statement, carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.

Sunday's executions brought to 13 the number of people executed here this year. Last year at least 52 people, mostly drug smugglers, were beheaded.

Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of drug trafficking, murder, rape and armed robbery are executed. Beheadings are carried out with a sword in public.

[peekaloo]

5. Boo$h set a record for executions in Texas as governor.

I'll bet he approves.

[Catfight]

4. We all know Saudi's heads are more important than 3000 Sudan heads. n/t

[stellanoir]

6. this is so sad

just as all the non violent pot offenders being incarcerated is.

Has anyone ever met a pot or hashish head be anything less than spacy, funny, sloppy, lazy and /or creatively inspired?

They are never violent. Never, never, never. . . Unlike coke & booze heads.

Arghhhhh.

8. The war against some drugs.

It's how the power elite works, demonize The People.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. And how they kept an entire generation

out of politics.

They specifically targeted collage age adults during the sixties, in order to handicap them politically with arrest records. Cute trick.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

7. Wow...more civilized democracy from our mid eastern allies

[Ohio rules]

21. The house of Saud? Religion is the opium-

-of the masses and the royal family use religion to police the followers.
Of course, they only allow Muslims to practice. Infidels need not express themselves in public.

[theHandpuppet]

9. George is probably jealous!

I've always suspected his chain-saw fetish, anyway.

[expatriot]

11. what is the Saudi court system like? Do they at least get a "fair" trial?

I mean minus the sentencing phase of it.

[Ohio rules]

22. LMAO ! ask the women or better yet, young girls

15 Makkah Schoolgirls, lost when their school burnt down on Monday, 11th March, 2002. The Religious Police would not allow them to leave the building, nor allow the Firemen to enter.

Some are above the law.

while others make up the law for all to obey.

12. How does the Saudi government do their beheadings

Guillotine? Axe? Machete? Dull knife? It is an outrage that the Saudis get a full pass for barbarism. Drugs? Death?

[eagler]

14. The dominant school of Islamic thought is Hanbaliism.

This is what the Wahabi sect in Saudi Arabia practices. It is the most conservative form of Sunni Islam and it is also what Osama instructs his followers in. It is very medieval and very violent.Saudi Arabia used to be the only place it was practiced until recently.

[Ohio rules]

23. Wahabi view Shia sect as Infidels

They'll eventually get what they give out.

But the House of Saud must collapse and the ruling Imams must be overthrown.
Imam Osama always had the goal of one day ruling Saudi Arabia.
Yes, thats right, bin Laden is a holy man.

[A_Possum]

13. They behead princesses too

[0007]

19. Do they behead foreign dignitaries that love drugs and alcohol?

[Ohio rules]

25. If that was the case, that Johnny Walker drinking

King of theirs should be the first in LINE

[0007]

28. I'll second that!

[cprise]

15. Cuba executed several involved in a terroist hijacking

And the Bush admin make a huge stink about human rights in Cuba. People in Saudi are executed and amputated (!!) all the time for far less.

I'll challenge Bush to compare the number of people Cuba vs. Saudi as the the number of people walking around with 'judicial amputations'.

[jpgray]

16. Great headline--people here will think 'those damn terrorists'

And then say 'oh, er, uh, waitaminute' :D

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

17. Ladies and Gentlemen...

I give you Saudi Arabia: "Our Partners in Peace"

Anyone remember the full-page ads their US embassy had running in the newspapers for a month after 9/11?

[pinniped]

18. They even had a radio commercial last week.

It stated that the 9/11 commission says Saudi Arabia has no connections with 9/11.

Colon Bowel says beheadings are more cruel than prison abuse. I hope the puke tells his Saudi pals.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

20. Remember when the first report came out with the 27 pages removed?

And who jumped on a plane and spoke to Bush* right after the report came out? I think it was Prince Bandar, who absolutely HAD to come to the US to talk to his friend after this report came out.


Just the thought of those two smoking cigars on the deck of the White House two days after the attacks while the Pentagon still burned in the distance makes me furious for some reason.

[Ohio rules]

24. Lets not forget Prince Bandar came to New York and

gave the mayor a check from the House of Saud . A check for several million dollars.

Well, that mayor pretty much gestured;
"Pay backs, in due time will be a Royal Bitch "

I remember the truth.
I will never forget

[bleedingheart]

30. yep and it made me ill.

[steely]

26. Oh I see, so - deal in hash and get beheaded, but fund

an international terror network, and get a free plane ride out of DC.

[Disturbed]

27. Saudi Arabia-Brutal and Repressive.

This nation is one of the most brutal, repressive Dictatorships on the planet. They are close friends with the Bush Crime Family. It seems that beheadings are only barbaric when they are done by the Bush Crime Family's enemies.

[Ohio rules]

29. Diplomacy

Has been going on by the House of Saud during every administration going all the way back to IKE.
? Maybe Truman also ?

[Octafish]

31. Kind of makes one wish Ollie North would do a show from Jeddah.

The man who wrote this was a DEA agent, stationed in Central America, who witnessed Ollie North's people unloading guns and loading cocaine for the trip North (no pun intended). The testimony also shows why the pukes hate the guy who has the goods on them -- John Kerry.



CONTRA-INTELLIGENCE
ON OLIVER L. NORTH

By Celerino "Cele" Castillo, 3rd
Former Federal Drug Agent and Author of:
Powderburns- Cocaine, Contras & the Drug War

EXCERPT...

Several years ago, the extreme right arm of the Christian Coalition selected to support Oliver North for U.S. Senate. Their support backfired and North became one of two Republicans who lost the elections that year. During North's campaign, I traveled to the Virginia to educate concern citizens on Oliver North. I went out to "grassroots" communities, and educated them on the criminal activities that Oliver North had been involved in during the 1980s. I went as far as challenging North to a debate. Of course, he refused.

During his failed 1994 campaign, he frequently claimed that there was no basis for any charges of his complicity in drug running, because as he keeps saying, "I'm the most investigated man on this planet." The truth of the matter is that the Iran-Contra special prosecutor, Lawrence Walsh, never investigated the drug trafficking allegations, because he did not consider it part of his mandate. The special prosecutor's original mandate from Congress was defined very narrowly, concentrating on the Iranian arms sales, the "diversion" of funds from the Iranian arms sales to the Contra operation, and on the Contra support operation as a violation of U.S. law.

During all the misdirected hoopla about Iran-Contra, the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee (known as the "Kerry committee") continued its work. Jack Blum, an investigator for Senator Kerry, testified to the committee on Feb. 11, 1987 that the Contras move drugs "not by the pound, not by the bag, but by the ton, by the cargo planeloads."

In 1987, Henry Hyde, as a member of the congressional Iran-contra committee and a defense attorney, helped steer the panel away from any serious investigation of the contra-cocaine connection. His focus was to spare President Ronald Reagan and his vice president, George Bush from possible impeachment over the Iran-contra scandal and related drug crimes implicating the Nicaraguan contra army.
