Sorry, Dennis, I don't read Arabic so I have to rely on arabnews.com and memri.org, and those papers that publish in English, such as jordantimes.com and dailystar.com.lb. google's list of Arabic newspapers: directory.google.com It doesn't list al Riyadh but the list is not comprehensive.

Dennis, Al-Riyadh: alriyadh-np.com You'll probably need Arabic fonts to read it. Here's another reference from US News: DAILY WHISPER Blood libel, hot off the press Counterterrorism and Mideast policy folks are E-mailing around an outrageous story from this week's Al-Riyadh, a Saudi daily, translated by the Jerusalem-based Middle East Media Research Institute. Titled "Special Ingredient for Jewish Holidays Is Human Blood From Non-Jewish Youth," the article is purportedly written by columnist Umayma Ahmad Al-Jalahma of King Faisal University. The story "reveals" how Jews slowly drain blood from victims' bodies to use in pastries for their Purim festival. Antisemitic literature in the Arab world is nothing new, but what's intriguing about this story, say U.S. analysts, is its origin: Al-Riyadh is a government daily, and the author is a professor at a prominent university. "This is a repetition of the ancient 'blood libel' which has been circulated against the Jews for at least a thousand years," E-mailed an ex-military attache with long Mideast service. "It's so outrageous that your first inclination is to think it's a psywar [psychological warfare] operation," counterterrorism expert Larry Johnson tells our David E. Kaplan. "But, if true, it's further proof that Saudi Arabia is part of the problem, not the solution." -- Climber ps another link list, this one for Arab and Middle East news sources: wam.org.ae
