[DAWN] KARACHI: The federal government has issued special permits to three princes from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

and Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

during the hunting season, it was learnt on Thursday.

According to sources, the hunting permit holders include the governor of Tabuk and two sons of the former King of Saudi Arabia, the late Saud bin Abdulaziz al-Saud. Residents of colder Central Asian regions, houbara bustards migrate every year to spend winters in a relatively warmer environment like Pakistain.

Sources said Prince Fahad bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, the governor of Tabuk, was allocated Awaran district and Noshki (not Noshki city) and Chaghai district (excluding the northwest).

Prince Mansoor bin Saud bin Abdulaziz al-Saud and his brother Prince Mishal bin Saud bin Abdulaziz al-Saud were allocated Layyah district in Punjab.
