Vinnell employee shot in Riyadh
Gunmen shot 44-year-old Robert Jacob 9 times in the head outside his home in Riyadh’s eastern Al-Khaleej district. Saudi police will undoubtedly add the shooter to their list of “wanted militants” in their “intense” manhunt that has so far had zero success.
Vinnell is the company that trains the Saudi National Guard, which is basically a private army primarily created to protect the Saudi royal family from people who want to kill them. Vinnell’s employees have been targeted several times in KSA, most recently in the May 12, 2003 attack targeting the residential quarters of Vinnell employees in Saudi Arabia, killing at least 30 people.
