Saudi Arabia Blames “Foreign Country” for Clashes

HeadlineOct 05, 2011

Saudi Arabia has blamed an unidentified “foreign country” for clashes that left 14 people injured Monday night. The unrest took place in the gulf city of Qatif, located in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich eastern province. Residents say the protests started on Sunday after authorities detained the fathers of two activists wanted for their part in earlier unrest. More than 100 people were arrested when protests in the area broke out in February and March.
