Asian killed a day after arriving in Saudi

Riyadh: When Younus from India finally managed to get a visa for his son to come to Saudi Arabia to help him in his barber shop, he thought it was time for him to get some rest.

But tragedy struck at him very fast. Just a day after his son Mohammed arrived in the Gulf Kingdom, he was killed in an attack near his father’s shop this week in the Central Saudi province of Al Kharj.

“He has just arrived to give me a hand in my shop, which I built six years ago… but he was killed in an attack,” Younus said, quoted by the Saudi Arabic language daily Okaz.
