Sad story indeed. If indeed it was a moped then it is unlikely to have had 2 seats. But, as has been said, not enough information to judge who was at fault or what exactly happened. Depending on the junction, a small bike should have been making a "Melbourne turn"…

Mmm, strange that he says he saw blood stains on his broken windscreen but still took it to the shop as if that was quite normal. If he did hit the other guy then maybe he thought he would just try and bluff it out. On the other hand, if…

Tragic that so many died in such a way. My guess is that this started in an area they use to load bullets and if so, safety regulations (if they exist) were probably breached.

Maybe an ideal punishment would be to turn the tables and let a horse have a go at him; that would bring tears to his eyes.

This is an outrage! British forces should be used only for the defence of the realm, not supporting a greedy and corrupt rat and his so-called government. How many more UK, US etc lives are going to be totally wasted supporting these heathens.

Dubai has good connections to most places these days so I guess that the route was: Afghanistan, down through Pakistan by road for processing, on the dhow to Dubai and on from there. One trip too many for this bird, she won't be making any more.

twoyen: I'm with you on this one but 4 hours may be pushing it a bit. Even one hour would help but ideally two. Sadly it will never happen, it's been tried before.

All very sad, in fact worse than sad. One thing which I don't understand: Why is it that we never hear anything from the Keeper of the Two Holy Mosques and the top Immams in Saudi Arabia denouncing this Muslim violence?
