[GreenPartyVoter]

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Saudi Arabia gave Islamic militants in the kingdom one month to surrender and save their lives, vowing to unleash the government's "full might" on extremist groups that have attacked foreigners.

Crown Prince Abdullah, the kingdom's de facto ruler, issued the ultimatum Wednesday in the name of King Fahd, his ailing half brother.

"We swear by God that nothing will prevent us from striking with our full might, which we derive from relying on God," Abdullah said, using some of the strongest language yet against militants.

Abdullah said the amnesty offer was open to anyone who has not yet been "arrested for carrying out terrorist acts."

2. And will S.A. actually do anything with these terrorists besides

give them instructions on what to blow up next?

3. Saudi amnesty for terrorist beheaders? Why not?

It certainly isn't any worse than their financing them.
