I am always very suspicious when Westerners just happen to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time in these cases.

Least likely scenario is that a fake road block netted random Westerner as a stroke of luck for the bad guys.

Please see my comment earlier about "who knows who has infiltrated" security.

My heart goes out to the family of the victim, who over a decade later will still be suffering.
Which was the case here. The guy worked for a well known military contractor working with the Saudi military.

By all accounts he was a bit of an a..hole to his wife, so who knows.

I never said it didn't happen. I was in Dubai when it happened and remember it well.... I recall camping in the desert around that time and producing a small brick like object from my anus when a truck came up to us in the middle of the night waited for a bit then drove off.

It's the friend of a friend bit with some extra details chucked in for good measure that I questioned.
