Saudi Arabia: Airport Reception Ends in Gun Fire
2010-02-03
The discussion of family issues prevented a Saudi Arabian from fulfilling the duties of hospitality in the Al-Sharqiya governorate last week. A Saudi Arabian citizen who picked up his relative from the King Fahd International Airport in Dammam later shot him in the foot in the Airport's car-park after an argument broke out between the two. The host was picking up his relative in order to take him home when during the walk to the car an argument broke out between the two.

And so instead of providing a hearty meal to his guest, the host shot his guest in the foot, forcing his relative to be taken to hospital in order to receive medical attention. local police said that the victim was in a stable condition.

General Yusuf al-Qahtani, the media spokesman for the al-Sharqiya police force, said that the security authorities had arrested a 37-year old man in possession of a licensed fire-arm at the King Fahd International Airport car-park.
