Actress Safa Al-Saba Robbed in Grand Mosque
2004-11-14
Well-known Egyptian Actress Safa Al-Saba was the latest victim of pickpocketing at the Grand Mosque in Makkah when an African pickpocket tried to make off with her mobile while she was leaving the mosque with her mother, Okaz reported yesterday. "The African youth snatched the mobile and run away while she was making a phone call," the Arabic daily said. Criminal investigation agents inside the mosque led by Capt. Ahmed Al-Hazmi did not take long to trace and arrest the culprit despite the huge crowd there. Safa thanked the officers for the good work.

#3  African youth? How'd he get to Mecca?

My money is on him being a slave and his "owner" running a pickpocket ring.
