Islamabad: A Saudi
official was allegedly thrashed by security personnel at the Benazir International Airport here following an altercation, Geo
News reported.
Saeed Al-Shehri was Thursday beaten after a heated argument. The
scuffle took place when the officials stopped him for security
check.
The incident forced Saudi ambassador to Pakistan Abdulaziz bin
Ibrahim Al-Ghadeer to visit the Islamabad airport.
While Pakistani sources say the man was not an official of the
Saudi embassy and was here for a military course, Saudi Airline
sources said he was a member of the Saudi Arabian embassy.
