dazed Can you say where this US military base is in Saudi? I know they used to have one uup in the high desert Shorourah Abha way but I thought all those boys & their bat planes went home after desert storm. Used to see the bat planes come out at dusk to practice.
To be slightly on topic the gold souks of Jeddah & Riyadh are pretty reliable. No tungsten fillings in the centre, or the gold merchant would be a finger or two short after being caught. Comex would benefit under similar strict supervision. Talking of Bin Laden, religion, royals, interior ministry it's a strange twisted world.
