http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=368839 Large Explosion Reported in Riyadh Large Explosion Reported in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Al-Jazeera Reports Car Bomb Caused Blast The Associated PressThe Associated Press RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Dec 29, 2004 — A large explosion went off in central Riyadh on Wednesday evening, witnesses said, and ambulances and police cars rushed to the scene. Three helicopters were seen hovering over the area, as sirens were heard soon after the 8:35 p.m. blast. Al-Jazeera reported that the explosion was from a car bomb that went off at a building close to the Interior Ministry. Police sealed off roads leading to the area. On Dec. 6 Saudi militants attacked the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, killing nine people. The Saudi government has been cracking down on militants since a series of al-Qaida-affiliated attacks on residential compounds in May 2003. The attacks have killed several Westerners. Many senior militants have been either killed or arrested in the campaign, including more than half of a list of 26 most-wanted terrorists.
His Dad works over there. Uprising was visiting for the Xmas break, but is coming back to watch the Aggies beat the Vols in the Cotton Bowl. Feel free to add anything Uprising. Stay safe man!
You could always edit his post to something more incriminating. EDIT have a safe and speedy return home, Uprising.
Yes, I would definitely like to know that as well. I'm gonna be movin to Riyadh for at least a year very shortly, and it would be good to have some semblance of home (at least as far as basketball is concerned ) available. Any dish providers that do like ESPN Full Court, etc? And yes, definitely have a safe trip back home!
