Saudis Kill Those They Think Responsible for Paul Johnson's Murder Just Moments After Release of News

That seems a bit odd to me. They said this fellow, who Bush-Cheney says is the head of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia (uh huh), was killed as he and others were disposing of Johnson's body.

Even if you forget for a moment that Saudi justice is perhaps even more up-down, little-and-extreme than American justice under Bush, this sounds a tad off. Since the man's dead, of course, he can't be interrogated. I know, that's probably fine with some people but sorry, it's not with me. I'd like some independent verification of these facts from more than one source.
