Saudi poet-prince killed in Algeria Saturday 29 November 2003 2:13 PM GMT english.aljazeera.net The Algerian desert is a popular tourism destination A well-known Saudi prince and poet has been shot and killed by suspected Islamist fighters in an ambush on his hunting party in the Algerian desert. Algerian newspapers on Saturday said Talal Ibn Abd al-Aziz al-Rashid died in an ambush on Thursday in which nine people were killed and several others injured. The attack is believed to have been carried out by the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (SGPC). The SGPC is recently known for the kidnapping of more than 30 European tourists sightseeing in the desert earlier this year. The group is fighting to set up a purist Islamic state and recently pledged its allegiance to the al-Qaida network, which the United States blames for the attacks on 11 September 2001, as well as many bomb attacks. The hunting party was attacked in the region of Djelfa, 250km south of the capital Algiers, sources told the newspapers. It was not immediately clear if the victims were guides, Saudis or security forces accompanying the hunting group. The Interior Ministry was not available for comment. Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq al-Awsat said his body was flown to Riyadh late on Friday for burial on Saturday. Al-Rashid was a businessman and popular poet who set up a literary magazine, al-Fawasil, 10 years ago. Two off-road jeeps were stolen in the attack. The Algerian desert is a popular destination for Saudis hunting game, including gazelles. * * *

That is a silly comment. There are American mercenaries who do not take money to attack the white house. That does not make them any less of a soldier of fortune. Many terrorists are Saudis. That means they are from the Saud tribe. Saudi Arabia is not America and I did my best to explain how terrorism could be encultured in Saudi Arabia even though the government officially condemns it. You ignored that, and are posting bigoted banter instead. ... Not interested, thanks anyway.
