Man killed in quarrel over shoes
Arab News

JEDDAH: A dispute over a pair of shoes between two expatriate workers ended with one killing the other yesterday in the town of Thuwal, 80 km north of Jeddah.

“A Bangladeshi worker and three of his friends killed a Yemeni colleague during a quarrel between them at the workers’ camp in the town of Thuwal,” said Col. Misfar Al-Juaid, spokesman for Jeddah police.

Al-Juaid said the fight began when the Yemeni worker put on his Bangladeshi colleague’s shoes without his permission. The Bangladeshi worker, in turn, called the man a thief and tried to forcefully retrieve the shoes. This led to a fight, with other workers intervening to separate the men.

Later in the day, when the workers had retired to bed, the Bangladeshi man together with three of his friends entered the Yemeni man’s room and took him to a place where they beat him till he died. The attackers then fled the scene.

Arab News

RIYADH: A 35-year-old Saudi woman recently found a solution to keep her husband away from home for a while. Speaking to a local daily, the woman said she could not put up with her husband for more than a few hours and that he refused to leave home after work. She said: “He takes the TV remote and flips from channel to channel.” The woman said she first thought of a divorce but since her family did not approve of that, they suggested the man marry a second wife.

OIC Denounces Constructing Synagogue near al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel
13/10/2008

JEDDAH, (WAFA)- Secretary general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Ekmeliddin Ihsanoglu, denounced Monday the Israeli breach of constructing a Synagogue on Islamic-originated land.

In a press release issued today, Ihsanoglu said that constructing the synagogue adjacent to the Holy Aqsa Mosque is a big assault against the place where prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was blessed.

'Such vicious step is breaching the international law and Geneva accords according to which the occupying country has no right in attacking the holy places in the lands it occupies', he added angrily.
