More fun and games in the Magic Kingdom

More fun and games in the magic kingdom. British expat and BWoS employee (married, with family in Kingdom) shot and killed while waiting at traffic lights in Riyadh. Unsure if the poor bloke was a target of opportunity or if he was selected because he was a Brit. Apparently the offender has been arrested, and is now being flogged with a wet tissue.
BWoS have advised dependants leave the Kingdom. The blokes have to stay a continue being target practice for *******s (oops - Saudi nationals)!
About three weeks a car load of *******s (oops - Saudi nationals) took pot shots ago another BWoS employee as he was driving around town. About 2 months ago another BWoS employee got monstered by another group of *******s (oops - Saudi nationals) and threatened with a knife.
Quite difficult going to work and being nice to the very same people that would happily shoot you later!
Beginning of the end methinks.
