Three French nationals have been shot dead in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi and French governments say.
Saudi sources told the BBC that police were treating the incident as a "terrorist attack".
The shooting happened near the ruins of Madain Saleh, in north-western Saudi Arabia, which is popular with tourists.
Saudi TV said the victims were part of a group of French nationals, some of whom were Muslims heading to the holy city of Mecca on a pilgrimage.
Major General Mansour al-Turki, an interior ministry spokesman, said two men were killed instantly as they rested at the side of the road and came under fire from gunmen.
Another died later in hospital and a fourth was in serious condition, he said.
Some women and children were also part of the group, but were not hurt, he added.
A French diplomatic source, quoted by the French news agency AFP, said an unknown number of attackers "machine-gunned them while they got out [of their vehicle] to go for a walk". French killed in Saudi shooting

”We certainly cannot say that all religious influences are benign; al-Qaeda is a religious cult, but a perverted one.” – William Rees Mogg
From the earliest days Christianity has been opposed to slavery. In his Letter to the Galatians, St Paul wrote: “As many of you that have been baptised in Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. We were all one in Jesus Christ.” Undoubtedly Christians have compromised with slavery — as with other social evils — in the course of history, but the orthodox Christian doctrine is one of liberty and equality.
The Christian belief was the inspiration in William Wilberforce’s long campaign to end the slave trade. His Bill received the Royal Assent on March 25, 1807, 200 years ago. That was the most important of all the great reforms of the 19th century; essentially it was a Christian reform, inspired by the Protestant conversion of Wilberforce himself. March 25 was the old New Year’s Day; it is also the feast of the Annunciation of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
We live in an age when modernists regard religion with something approaching panic. It is like the Devil’s attitude to Holy Water. There was a comic example of Christianophobia in The Sunday Times yesterday. Michael Portillo, who used himself to be seen in Brompton Oratory, was hyperventilating at the idea of David Cameron going to church. “I worry,” he wrote, “because men of power who take instruction from unseen forces are essentially fanatics . . . I would be more reassured to hear that the Tory leader goes to church because that is what it takes to get a child into the best of state schools, not because he is a believer.”
Perhaps this neurotic response to Mr Cameron’s habit of going to church reflects Mr Portillo’s recognition that religion is again becoming an important influence on society. Many of the current news stories show that religion is back in public consciousness; for those who feel uneasy about religion, that is unwelcome.
Islam is, of course, the alarming religious issue that will not go away. In the 20th century the world failed to adjust to two major belief systems, nationalism and Marxism. Now we face a similar global challenge from Islam, which opposes Judaism in Israel, Hinduism in India, Buddhism in South East Asia, Christianity in Europe and America and modernism in the whole advanced world. We certainly cannot say that all religious influences are benign; al-Qaeda is a religious cult, but a perverted one. Religion isn’t the sickness. It’s the cure by William Rees Mogg

THE TIMES: Tony Blair has declared himself at odds with hawks in the US Administration by saying publicly for the first time that it would be wrong to take military action against Iran. The Prime Minister’s comments came hours before the UN’s nuclear watchdog raised the stakes in the West’s showdown with Tehran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency concluded that Iran had expanded its nuclear programme, defying UN demands for it to be suspended. Hundreds of uranium-spinning centrifuges in an underground hall are expected to be increased to thousands by May when Iran moves to “industrial-scale production”. Senior British government sources have told The Times that they fear President Bush will seek to “settle the Iranian question through military means” next year, before the end of his second term if he concludes that diplomacy has failed. “He will not want to leave it unresolved for his successor,” said one.
But there are deep fissures within the US Administration. Robert Gates, the Defence Secretary, who has previously called for direct talks with Tehran, is said to be totally opposed to military action.
Although he has dispatched a second US aircraft carrier to the Gulf, he is understood to believe that airstrikes would inflame Iranian public opinion and hamper American efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. One senior adviser to Mr Gates has even stated privately that military action could lead to Congress impeaching Mr Bush. "Blair opens-up US divide over Iran military action"

ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS: ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A 1998 newspaper story about two Muslim children mistakenly buried on top of each other in Palmer left Ake Dobrova weak with outrage.
One of the children had to be exhumed and reburied, a violation of Muslim beliefs. The cemetery mix-up caused anguish all around.
"I was feeling so bad about it," said Dobrova, a small-business owner from Albania. "What kind of people are we (that) we don't have no cemetery?"
That year, he decided to make a cemetery himself. This year, what he started has become the first official Muslim resting place in Alaska.
Islamic teaching, or "sunnah," is strict and specific about the treatment of the dead. A body must be washed by the family, prayed over by the men, wrapped in a shroud and laid in the ground facing Mecca. Burial must occur quickly after death, and the grave must be located near those of other Muslims. . First Muslim Cemetery Opens in Alaska

The conviction this week of a Muslim radical for inciting racial hatred once again highlights the growing threat posed by the pernicious fringe of Islamism. We have only ourselves to blame, says Ruth Dudley Edwards
'UK you will pay, Islam is on its way," is the chilling slogan favoured by Muslim radical Abdul Saleem, who was convicted this week of stirring up racial hatred at a rally in London last year. Addressing the crowd in Belgravia Square, near the Spanish and German embassies, Saleem was filmed saying: "There will come a time when we will stand inside these embassies. There will come a time when we will remove that flag. There will come a time when we will raise the flag of Islam – whether you like it or not, Islam is superior and cannot be surpassed."
His defence should have pointed out that he was merely stating the obvious. He and his kind believe that through intimidation, conversion and out-breeding, the United Kingdom – and the world over – can be brought under Sharia law.
I take Islam – a religion which, at its best, greatly improves the lives of its adherents – and Islamism – its pernicious fringe – very seriously. The Qur'an is beside my bed, along with Bruce Lawrence's The Qur'an: A Biography; I've just finished Karen Armstrong's hagiographical Muhammad and its antithesis, Robert Spencer's The Truth About Muhammad; I try vainly to persuade visitors to watch my DVD of Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West; Michael Gove should pay me commission for having persuaded so many people to buy his Celsius 7/7; I've just ordered Nick Cohen's What's Left?: How Liberals Lost Their Way to join the pile of Islam-related books on my to-read pile, which I have little time to address because, in addition to working for a living, I spend at least two or three hours a day reading about Islamic matters or talking to similarly obsessed friends and colleagues at speeches and seminars.
There is much in my personal and working life that, early on, put me in the camp of those who believe Islamism is a totalitarian threat that could destroy our civilisation within a few decades with the help of the West-loathing Left, the wimpish Right, the political and diplomatic wishful thinkers, the massed ranks of risk-averse politically correct bien-pensants and the cowards who want to avoid confrontation at all costs – not to speak of the innumerable peaceable British Muslims who allow bullies and bigots to represent them in the media and who buy into the comfort blanket of victimhood.
I grew up in the Republic of Ireland under an authoritarian religion that bossed about submissive governments; as a British public servant, I saw the damage done by pusillanimous jobsworths; as an historian of the 1930s, I learnt how the wishful thinking of the deluded intelligentsia helped Hitler and Stalin; researching a book on the Foreign Office I came to understand the limitations of a diplomacy that believes the best of everyone; and fascination with the wilder shores of Irish republicanism that I encountered at my mad granny's knee led me subsequently – as a journalist and campaigner – to spend many years in intellectual combat with militant Irish republicanism, struggling, with some success, to understand the terrorist mind.
And then there is academia, which I know well: my new crime novel centres on the degradation of the humanities by politically correct moral relativists who collude with those who seek to destroy a dangerously apologetic civilisation. As for the media, for which I write, they have become so terrified of offending Muslims and making Islamists cross that they refused to do their job as reporters of news and publish the series of cartoons mocking the prophet Mohammed that appeared in a Danish newspaper and which led to Danish citizens being threatened and their country's goods boycotted.
Not only did British newspaper proprietors and editors think freedom of speech not worth fighting for, but Jack Straw, then our Foreign Secretary, condemned as "disrespectful" those European newspapers honourable enough to print the cartoons.
The Ireland from which I fled in 1965 taught me how a powerful religion can get its way by bullying and frightening politicians and influencing a susceptible electorate. Still, it would be unfair to compare the Irish version of Rome Rule with what Islamists wish to impose on us: even our most reactionary bishops were educated; the Enlightenment had not passed them by. Islamists would burn our books, indoctrinate our children into thinking like seventh-century nomads and outlaw joy. "An Islamic regime must be serious in every field," explained Ayatollah Khomeini. "There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam." Roman Catholics might believe in an after-life but they do not yearn to get there: IRA terrorists – even the hunger-strikers – hoped to live. The Islamist brainwashing of the vulnerable – combined with what Bernard Lewis, author of The Crisis of Islam, describes as "the minutely described delights of paradise" – has given us the suicide bombers.

A new English-language FM radio station intended to promote Israeli-Palestinian dialogue has joined the crowded airwaves in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
RAM FM, operating from Ramallah in the West Bank, is backed by a South African media group previously involved in setting up a similar station before the end of the apartheid era in the 1980s to promote inter-racial harmony.
The station, an independent commercial venture, is to broadcast a mix of 20 news bulletins a day, chat shows, entertainment and pop music.
"Being from South Africa, where independence and freedom of speech were hard-won victories, we understand these things better than others... we are committed to getting both sides of the story," RAM FM news director Andrew Bolton said. Radio dialogue opens in Ramallah by Peter Feuilherade

Abdel Kareem Soliman's trial was the first time that a blogger had been prosecuted in Egypt.
He had used his weblog to criticise the country's top Islamic institution, the al-Azhar university and President Hosni Mubarak, whom he called a dictator.
A human rights group called the verdict "very tough" and a "strong message" to Egypt's thousands of bloggers.
Mr Soliman, 22, was tried in his native city of Alexandria. He blogs under the name Kareem Amer.
A former student at al-Azhar, he called the institution "the university of terrorism" and accused it of suppressing free thought. Egypt blogger jailed for insult [to Islam and president]

“They often charge that religious fervour triggers radical and violent views. But the data say otherwise. There is no significant difference in religiosity between moderates and radicals. In fact, radicals are no more likely to attend religious services regularly than are moderates.” – John Esposito & Gallup’s Muslim studies director
The War on Terror has radicalised Muslims around the world to unprecedented levels of anti-American feeling, according to the largest survey of Muslims ever to be conducted.
Seven per cent believe that the events of 9/11 were “completely justified”. In Saudi Arabia, 79 per cent had an “unfavourable view” of the US.
Gallup’s Centre for Muslim Studies in New York carried out surveys of 10,000 Muslims in ten predominantly Muslim countries. One finding was that the wealthier and better-educated the Muslim was, the more likely he was to be radicalised.

Don't worry, this won't be another analysis of the betrayed underclass, but I must start with the spectacle of youths touring our council estates shooting each other with illegal firearms.
Why have we come to this? Because the family has broken down, our schools are spavined and, in some areas, law and order is now merely a rhetorical concept. And why have these things happened? Because those who purport to govern us haven't a clue how to discharge the duties of office.
Such a failure would be painful for any administration, but for this one especially it is a grim indictment. The poor, the underprivileged, the sick: these were the people Labour said it would care for and help. Yet their condition, like that of most of the rest of us, is now by any measure worse than in 1997. I was going to hold off on the decade-anniversary tribute to Tony Blair for another month or so, but this is all too much. The question must be asked now. What on earth have the past 10 years been for?
If you can bear it, recall these promises from the 1997 Labour manifesto. "Education will be our number one priority"; "we will rebuild the NHS"; "we will help build strong families and strong communities"; "we will be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime"; oh, and if you want a real laugh, "we will clean up politics and put the funding of political parties on a proper and accountable basis". The rest of this largely fictional document is also littered with preposterous variations on these themes. What have the past ten years of Blair been for? by Simon Heffer

YAHOO NEWS: A 12-year-old Muslim girl has lost her High Court challenge to her school's ban on wearing the niqab full-face veil. Lawyers for the girl and her father had argued the ban was "irrational" and a breach of human rights. But Mr Justice Silber rejected their plea for a judicial review.
After the judgement, the girl's lawyers said she and her family were "bitterly disappointed" and were considering an appeal.
The girl, referred to as X as she is protected by an anonymity order, argued the ban thwarted her "legitimate expectation" she would be allowed to wear the niqab. Muslim Schoolgirl Loses Veil Challenge

US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country's military infrastructure, the BBC has learned.
It is understood that any such attack - if ordered - would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres.
The US insists it is not planning to attack, and is trying to persuade Tehran to stop uranium enrichment.
The UN has urged Iran to stop the programme or face economic sanctions.
But diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran. US ‘Iran attack plans’ revealed

Most people believe common ground exists between the West and the Islamic world despite current global tensions, a BBC World Service poll suggests.
In a survey of people in 27 countries, an average of 56% said they saw positive links between the cultures.
Yet 28% of respondents told questioners that violent conflict was inevitable.
Asked twice about the existing causes of friction, 52% said they were a result of political disputes and 58% said minority groups stoked tensions.
Only in one country, Nigeria, where Christian and Muslim groups often clash violently, did a majority of those polled (56%) cite religious and cultural differences between communities as the root cause of conflict. Poll sees hope in West-Islam ties

Ever since this NuLabour government came to power, the United Kingdom has started resembling, more and more, a police state.
Everywhere one goes these days, one is under surveillance, be it in the supermarket, in the Underground, on a railway platform, or on the roads. Nay, especially on the roads! Our motorways are simply plastered with speed cameras. Speed cameras are dotted here, there, and everywhere, just waiting for the motorist to fall foul of the speed restrictions. In fact, speeding fines have become a big revenue-earner for this government.
NuLabour has done its level best to make people ‘wards of the state’. About one in three households are now depend on the welfare state for a large part of their income. This, of course, empowers the politicians, since it takes away people’s independence. The more dependent people are on the state, the more likely they are to elect the current régime back into office. After all, they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them!
But this is not all. Tony Blair’s government has systematically taken people’s freedoms away from them. No other government has passed so many new laws in so short a time, and just about all of them banning something or other. Fox-hunting has been banned. Parents’ rights have been taken away. After July 1, nobody will be able to smoke in any public building, be it an office, a restaurant, a public house, a school, a hospital, or wherever. We are told that private homes have been spared. Mercifully! I dare say that they will devise a way of banning smoking in the home, too, given time. And note this: thousands are being trained to police the smoking ban with on-the-spot fines. Even Hitler didn’t try to ban smoking in all public places, even though it is said that he loathed the habit.
We are being treated like recalcitrant schoolchildren! Whilst smoking is not a good habit, indeed, many would argue that it is a dirty habit, it should remain the prerogative of the adult to make up his own mind whether he wishes to smoke or not, despite the health risks involved.
Arguing about second-hand smoke is a red herring. Nothing has been conclusively proven that second-hand smoke, especially to the extent that most people are subjected to it, causes cancer. In any case, even if it does, people should have the freedom to choose whether they smoke or not. This is, after all is said and done, the mark of adulthood. It is what distinguishes adulthood from childhood. In childhood, we have to do what our parents or authority figures tell us; in adulthood, we are supposed to be able to make up our own minds.
But whether one can smoke in a public place or not is hardly the issue. The main issue is this: Too much is being banned. Indeed, NuLabour have raised the practice of passing laws to ban activities into an art form! The EU is doing just about the same. Last week, it was announced that the EU wishes to make it a criminal offence to pick wild flowers! Punishable, of course, by a gaol term!
One can argue about the merits and demerits of fox-hunting, smoking, and picking wild flowers until one is blue in the face. The activities are hardly the point now. It has gone past that. What is the point is this: How many more freedoms are going to be eroded by a government determined to control the people and their every move?
Personally, I preferred the world as it was, for all its shortcomings. There was a place for all people. Smokers and non-smokers alike, fox-hunters and non-foxhunters alike, and all the rest in between.
If all these activities are so abhorrent, then this is hardly a reason for banning them. It might well be a reason for educating people to lead healthier lives, and this is precisely what has been done over the years with regard to smoking. Today, a far smaller percentage of people smoke than before. But this situation has not come about by banning tobacco products; rather, it has come about by a process of information and education.
In today’s Britain, it is difficult to see where it is all going to end. It isn’t much different in the USA, either, especially on the east coast and in California. The health freaks have taken over the place. The interesting thing is this: they target only those who smoke cigarettes and cigars. The druggies are left alone. How logical is that?
We have entered a period of intolerance and disdain for the rights and freedoms of others. The journey to bondage has only just begun. Far worse is surely on its way.
Ronald Reagan and Mrs Thatcher came to power to free up the people. Tony Blair, by contrast, has come to power to put them everywhere in shackles. In Blair’s Britain, the power of the state is everything; the rights of the individual count for nothing. Zilch! Zippo!
Surely it is high time for this nonentity to spend more time with his family, for we, the people, have truly had enough of him. When a country starts meddling in the affairs of the family and prying into the private lives of each and every individual, then that political system is veering away from the democratic and is sailing close to the wind of totalitarianism. Beware of that wolf in sheep’s clothing, that leader, who sweet talks the electorate whilst at the same time enslaves them! Such a man is not to be trusted. You can also bet your bottom dollar that he is passing petty laws because he is inadequate to deal with the main, important issues of the day. Radical Muslims are determined to bring down the system; yet all Blair and his cronies can do is worry about second-hand smoke! Welcome to that new dark age!

THE TIMES: Newly discovered letters reveal the increasingly desperate efforts by Anne Frank’s father to get his family out of Nazi-occupied Amsterdam before they were forced into hiding in the attic where the teenage girl wrote her famous diary.
Otto Frank sought the help of a rich friend from the family that founded Macy’s department store in New York in an attempt to obtain a US visa.
“I am forced to look out for emigration and as far as I can see USA is the only country we could go to,” he wrote to his friend Nathan Straus Jr in New York on April 30, 1941.
“Perhaps you remember that we have two girls. It is for the sake of the children mainly that we have to care for. Our own fate is of less importance,” he added. Anne Frank’s doomed American dream by James Bone in New York

THE TIMES: India, China and Russia account for 40 per cent of the world’s population, a fifth of its economy and more than half of its nuclear warheads. Now they appear to be forming a partnership to challenge the US-dominated world order that has prevailed since the end of the Cold War.
Foreign ministers from the three emerging giants met in Delhi yesterday to discuss ways to build a more democratic “multipolar world”.
It was the second such meeting in the past two years and came after an unprecedented meeting between their respective leaders, Manmohan Singh, Hu Jintao and Vladimir Putin, during the G8 summit in St Petersburg in July.
It also came only four days after Mr Putin stunned Western officials by railing against American foreign policy at a security conference in Munich. Giants meet to counter US power by Jeremy Page

So will the 43rd Munich Security Conference be remembered as the start of a new Cold War?
That is probably the single most important question to emerge from this long weekend of speeches and private chats among the world's most powerful.
Certainly Russian President Vladimir Putin's strident speech stands out from the crowd.
In it, to recap, he strongly criticised the US and its European allies, with his harshest criticism reserved for Washington.

PATIENTS who are overweight or smoke should be denied operations until they are fitter, the health secretary has declared.
Patricia Hewitt says it is right for doctors to order individuals to lose weight or give up cigarettes before they are treated.
In an interview with The Sunday Times she described the move as “best practice” because operations are less likely to succeed on people who are very fat or smoke heavily.

The following video is proof, if proof were needed, that Islam is indeed taking the world into that New Dark Age
of which I have been warning for so long, and of which I wrote in my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age.It is bad enough that the nonsense of Jews being apes and Christians being swine destined for Hellfire is being taught in the backward Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but now it is also being taught to our children in the United Kingdom!
Why do we allow this rubbish to be taught to our children in the West? Why do we allow our children to be brainwashed? Why do we allow our civilization to be undermined? The answer, of course, is clear: Western politicians are intimidated by Islam, and everything is allowed because of our thirst for oil and the West’s almost total dependence on it. This is NOT good enough. If this is the real price of oil, then something needs to be done about this dependence NOW.
Any school teaching such backward nonsense in any school should be shut down forthwith. And such schools should never be allowed to re-open, regardless of who is behind them. Please watch the following video. It’s a snippet from Newsnight, the prestigious BBC news analysis programme.
BBC: "King Fahad Academy in London":
Here is Melanie Phillips’ excellent article on this subject:
"So now we know — schools in Britain can be teaching children from textbooks which follow a curriculum laid down by the Saudi Ministry of Education, and which contain passages comparing Christians and Jews to monkeys and pigs, and yet still be given a clean bill of health by the schools inspectorate OFSTED which pronounces their standard of education ‘satisfactory’.
This much has been brought to light by the chain of events at the King Fahad school in west London, which a teacher claimed at an industrial tribunal had taught pupils that religions such as Christianity and Judaism were ‘worthless’ and described Jews as apes and Christians as pigs."

THE TIMES: The Giraffe Heroes Project is an American organisation that celebrates the lives of ordinary people who stick their necks out for the common good. As its president, Anne Medlock, writes: “In stories back to the dawn of time, the healing of the wasteland has come only when someone refuses to be passive and summons up the courage to ignore all the naysayers, go forth, and slay whatever dragon has scared everybody else into terrified passivity. We need those brave blazers of trails, those people who are true heroes.”
So let me nominate a new Giraffe Hero: Gina Khan. The dragon that has scared everybody else into terrified passivity is Muslim extremism. But Ms Khan, an ordinary Birmingham-born mother of two, has dared to speak out about the radicalism that has permeated her community. She refuses to be passive; she has summoned up the moral courage, at great risk to herself, to face down the jihadists who are giving Muslims a bad name.
You can read my interview with Ms Khan in today’s times2. With great frankness and fearlessness, she laments the capture of her area of Birmingham by jihadist radicals. She describes how mosques and madrassas have sprung up like mushrooms on almost every street corner, dedicated not to helping the community but to spreading the message of jihad; how preachers are indoctrinating the young to hate Christians and Jews; how her community is in denial about the radicals in its ranks; and how the mullahs collude in sanctioning forced marriages and polygamy.
“Open your eyes” is her message to nonMuslim Britain. “It’s all happening on your doorstep and Britain is still blind to the real threat that is embedded here now.” A courageous voice against the Muslim bullyboys by Mary Ann Sieghart
