Two US defence contractors shot at in Saudi

A US defence contractor said Sunday that two of its American employees came under fire in the latest attack against Westerners in Saudi Arabia.

It was the second time in recent months that staff of the contractor Vinnell Arabia have been targeted.

"We can confirm that two Vinnell Arabia employees were involved in an incident on Friday, in which they were shot at by assailants in the al-Ahsa province of Saudi Arabia," the company said in a statement issued through a public relations firm.

1. Vinnell is still around (with the same business name) in the same place?

Who said, "the more things change" . . . except, when they don't.

3. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? nt

4. Yup...

I guess my feelings about that involve the fact that they are military contractors and regardless of where they are, they are in the war game zone and getting shot seems to be a consequence of that sort of activity/employment. I'm not at all surprised.

I do hope it doesn't snowball into yet another source of fodder for shitheads like Senator Warmonger is all.
