War Zone in Saudi Arabia

Now I know what is right
I’ll kill them all if I like
I’m a time bomb inside
No one listens to reason,
It’s too late and I’m ready to fight!
So what? now I’m ready to fight!
-----So What?, Ministry



We're still in a war. don't forget it. this is a desperate attempt. destabilizing? i don't think so. here's the beeb:

Gunmen 'killed 22' in Saudi city

Saudi special forces stormed the compound

Suspected al-Qaeda militants have killed 22 people - mostly foreigners - in the eastern Saudi city of Khobar, the interior ministry in Riyadh says.

The 25-hour crisis ended on Sunday, when Saudi commandos stormed a housing complex where militants had been holding dozens of people hostage.

Some of the captives were killed during the raid, but most are said to be safe.

Three of the militants escaped and a fourth - described as the ringleader - was arrested, the ministry said.

Its list of foreigners killed include people from Britain, Egypt, India, Italy, the Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, and the US.

It is not clear whether the ministry total includes any foreigners killed during the commando operation.

Twenty-five people of different nationalities were wounded, the interior ministry added.

The crisis began on Saturday, when the gunmen went on a shooting spree in Khobar.
