| $650,000 taken from Iraqi embassy |
| 2003-07-21 |
| Yemeni authorities investigated the disappearance of $650,000 from the safe of the Iraqi embassy in the the capital of Sanaa, it was reported Monday. The weekly magazine al-Naas quoted sources as saying at least three embassy employees were interrogated by security forces. "Ali, we’re having some employees of the Iraqi embassy over for an interrogation. Break out the good truncheons." No charges had been filed but it was apparent the theft was carried out by people inside the embassy, the sources said. Ya think? A team from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry arrived in Sanaa to help in the investigation. "Hello, I"m Agent, er, Undersecretary Smith from the new Iraqi Foreign Ministry." "Funny, you don’t look Iraqi." "I’m from the Langley branch of the Ministry." A similar theft occurred at the Iraqi embassy in Beijing. Check with the Ambassador, he’s the one holded up with the guns. |

| #1 Seems like a lot of cash to have on hand,it would also seem that the number of people with the combination to the safe would be limited. Where did they keep it in a shoe box? |
