RIYADH (Reuters) - Celebratory gunfire at a wedding party in eastern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night brought down an electric cable, killing 23 people, a local civil defense official said.
"At the wedding, the cable fell on a metal door and the 23 people who died were all electrocuted," Eastern Province official Abdullah Khashman said by phone.
A photograph of the aftermath of the accident, published on local newspapers' websites showed a large courtyard strewn with fallen chairs and a pole in the middle supporting cables carrying lightbulbs.
All those killed were from the same tribe, Khashman said. Thirty others were injured in the incident near Abqaiq, a center of the Saudi energy industry.
Saudi Arabia banned the shooting of firearms at weddings, a popular tradition in tribal areas of the conservative Islamic kingdom, last month.


Allah Akbar!

Tragic, but the gene pool just got a bit more clear.

Wonder if the wedding DJ was playing AC/DC?

Shocking, to say the least.

I really like that picture. I just told my daughter this was how hers will be.

The only reason I didn't wear my CW at my daughter's wedding was because it was in the state of Chicago... well, Southern Ill Annoy... the only state in the Union with NO CC allowed at all.

I may ignore that the next time I'm there. My S.I.L. has P.O.'d me... and he's bigger and stronger, so COLT rules apply... that and Big Boy Rules.

I always have my backup, though, a decent blade.

I told my daughter that's what her first date is going to look like (minus the wedding dress, of course.)

Yahoo 72 virgins times 23!

I'm not sure if this "reward" means paradise or hell. Just think of it - spending eternity with 72 women who have never had sex? Ouch! :rolleyes:
