The US Consulate in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia has been attacked:
A car bomb apparently exploded outside the heavily guarded U.S. consulate in the port city of Jiddah,
sending plumes of smoke into the sky in the latest strike against
Western targets in the kingdom. Several people were injured, but no
U.S. casualties were reported, officials said."We can confirm there has been an attack on the consulate," U.S.
Embassy spokeswoman Carol Kalin said in the capital, Riyadh, adding
that no American casualties were reported. "The incident is still in
progress with Saudi emergency forces securing the compound."
Gunfire was heard nearly 30 minutes after the explosion.
Religion of peace, huh? Oh, wait, I forgot. Bush created them. These aren’t the same people who have hated the United States through the past several decades. The same ones that want the US out of the region, and want to destroy Israel. The same ones who have supported the murder of women and children, and have trained their children to become homicide bombers. Nope, not the same ones. All in all, it is better that we are fighting these "BCT’s" (is that Bill Created Terrorist’s?) over seas, rather then the streets of America.
There are conflicting reports of hostages held inside the compound. More to come later.
Update: After a brief sail through the Sea of Blogosphere, found others:

Both US and Saudi sources are saying, “no hostages”. Some foreign service national employees, mostly from Yemen and Somalia, were being used as “human shields” though.
