Saudi Gunmen Storm Home of Bahrain Envoy in Syria

Gunmen "stormed" the home of Bahrain's charge d'affaires in Damascus and stole property, prompting the kingdom to urge Syria to protect its envoys, Bahrain state news agency BNA reported Tuesday.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - It is said that Saudi gunmen "stormed" the home of Bahrain's charge d'affaires in Damascus and stole property, prompting the kingdom to urge Syria to protect its envoys, Bahrain state news agency BNA reported Tuesday.

The gunmen entered the residence of Salah Abdulrahman al-Ahmad at dawn on Monday "and stole some of his personal possessions," BNA quoted the Gulf kingdom's foreign ministry as saying in a statement.

Ahmad "is in an excellent health condition and is perfectly carrying out his diplomatic work at the Bahraini embassy in Damascus," it added.

Bahrain's foreign ministry responded by "summoning Ms. Faiza Iskandar, Syria's charge d'affaires in the kingdom and informed her... that Syrian authorities must take quick measures to protect and secure the embassy, as well as Bahraini diplomats in Damascus and their residences," BNA said.
