Killed by mate in work ambush

[maddezmom]

THE Australian engineer killed in Saudi Arabia was shot dead by Islamic terrorists who worked undercover alongside him, it has emerged.

Anthony Richard Mason, 57, and four other Westerners were gunned down by men who worked as security guards at the giant Exxon Mobil refinery complex in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu. A Saudi was also killed.

A company spokesman said three employees working at the plant entered the site on Saturday, letting in a fourth accomplice through an emergency exit.

The group stormed into the offices of the Swiss-owned oil services company ABB and at point blank-range fired at workers, killing Mr Mason, two Britons and two Americans instantly.

1. It's started ... The shooting gallery of westerners....

It's been ratcheted up by those torture pictures now circulating. Americans won't be safe anywhere before long ...

Thank you Mr. Bush*

2. Imperialism is the luxury. Terrorism is the price.

We in the US must elect governments that will respect the rest of the world. Our survival depends upon it.

Alas, with Kerry planning to continue occupying Iraq and supporting Israel's abusive occupation, the next election offers little hope.
