$650,000 taken from Iraqi embassy
Yemeni authorities investigated the disappearance of $650,000 from the safe of the Iraqi embassy in the the capital of Sanaa, it was reported Monday. The weekly magazine al-Naas quoted sources as saying at least three embassy employees were interrogated by security forces."Ali, weâre having some employees of the Iraqi embassy over for an interrogation. Break out the good truncheons." No charges had been filed but it was apparent the theft was carried out by people inside the embassy, the sources said. Ya think? A team from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry arrived in Sanaa to help in the investigation. "Hello, I"m Agent, er, Undersecretary Smith from the new Iraqi Foreign Ministry." "Funny, you donât look Iraqi." "Iâm from the Langley branch of the Ministry." A similar theft occurred at the Iraqi embassy in Beijing. Check with the Ambassador, heâs the one holded up with the guns. Posted by: Steve 2003-07-21 |
