Western citizens leave for Bahrain
In the course of the deteriorated security conditions in Saudi Arabia and the escalation of attacks against foreigners, western citizens started to leave the Kingdom to Saudi Arabia neighboring states especially to Bahrain. An immigration official in Manama said that a huge number of Europeans and Americans arrived from Saudi Arabia and that this wave started one year before but was escalated during the few past weeks. The sources indicate that while some foreigners transferred their work from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain, others preferred to send their families to Bahrain and continue their work in Saudi Arabia.
You can do administrative work and the like from outside Saudi, but the wrench turners don't have that option. Smart move with the families. Just how secure is Bahrain, anyway?
