Mohammad Al-Hamady said firemen evacuated the shoppers and extinguished the fire. The fire started at a store in the second floor of the building. It covered an area of 1,500 sq. meters but only 300 sq. meters of the premises was damaged. Safety of the building was ensured before shoppers were allowed in again.
Woman held for smuggling alcohol
JEDDAH — An Asian woman was arrested for attempting to smuggle alcohol through Jeddah's main airport. Abdullah Al-Falai, Custom Control director at King Abdulaziz International Airport, said the woman hid five bottles of alcohol underneath her abaya (black clothes worn by some Muslim women). The women staff at the Custom Control felt suspicious of the way the woman walked and the way her clothes were worn.
