Saudi security forces allowed the Islamic mass murderers who perpetrated the Khobar atrocities to escape.

SAUDI authorities struck a deal with al Qaeda hostage-takers which led to three of them escaping, it was claimed yesterday.

Checkpoints set up across Saudi Arabia also failed to trace three Islamic militants who went on the run following Saturday’s attacks in the eastern oil city of al Khobar.

The allegation of collusion involving Saudi Arabian security forces emerged amid fears that the latest terrorist outrage in the country may have a knock-on effect on the global economy by sparking further rises in oil prices.

After all, the victims were only infidels.
