| [Al Ahram] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... summoned Iran's ambassador on Tuesday after four Saudis died from poisoning in the northeast Iranian city of Mashhad, Saudi foreign ministry front man Osama Naqli said in a statement published on the state news agency. A group of 33 pilgrims from Saudi Arabia's Shi'ite Moslem minority was exposed to poison on Sunday while staying at a Mashhad hotel, state news agency IRNA reported on Monday. Another Iranian news agency quoted an official as saying the poisoning appeared to be accidental, blaming poor cleaning standards at the hotel. Four children died, while another 28 were hospitalised after the incident. Iranian authorities said they tossed in the slammer Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! five members of hotel staff. Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry called on Iran to "swiftly take the necessary investigations required and to discover the circumstances surrounding the event, and allow them to follow up on the medical conditions of the patients, and to provide necessary protection for them." |
