Frenchman's teen daughter murdered in Mecca
A 14-year-old adopted daughter of a French man of Algerian origin performing pilgrimage was found murdered, triggering brief riots by relatives and friends, said the Saudi Arabic language daily Alriyadh on Thursday.Abu Mudeen Al Khateeb said that his adopted daughter had been raped and murdered by unknown assailants in Mecca. The girls body was found on Tuesday night on top of an inn next-door to the hotel where Khateeb and his daughter were staying. I have full faith in the capability of the Saudi security to unravel this murder case, he told the paper, following reports of brief riots by a group of Algerian pilgrims in the holy city in protest at the girls death. The paper said the rioters at Alghazza neighourhood in Mecca were demanding punishment of expatriate workers at that hotel for the crime. The police commander in Mecca said that a police force was sent to that neighbourhood and dispersed the protesters peacefully". Posted by: ryuge 2010-09-16 |
