Saudi tourists missing in Syria

gulf-news.com

Damascus: The Saudi National Organization for Human Rights has launched an investigation into the disappearance of five Saudi teachers who have gone missing in Syria.

Saleh Khathalan, deputy president of the Saudi National Organization for Human Rights told the daily Saudi newspaper Al Watan that some Saudi’s may be kept for ransom.

He also told the newspaper that he thought it was possible that Saudis were being kidnapped by Syrian gangs who then sold them on to US forces in Iraq disguising them as insurgents.

The human rights group – Saudi Arabia’s only human rights watchdog (of course, it is watching Syria's treatment of Saudis rather than watching Saudi Arabia's treatment of Saudis) – has vowed to find out the fate of the missing teachers.

Earlier this month the Syrian Minister of Tourism Saad Allah Agha Kalaa said that reports of Saudi tourist being harassed and robbed when they visited Syria were unfounded.
