The head of the Saudi nationals affairs in Canada, Muhammad Battah, reported that Canadian police have found a jacket believed to belong to Saudi student Hamza Al-Sharif, who has been missing for four months. “Police found the jacket hung on a tree near the banks of the river used by students for power walks,” Battah said. Canadian authorities are in touch with Al-Sharif's sister, Leila, who is studying in the same state. Forensics is being carried out to determine the DNA. “The Saudi Embassy in Canada is exerting maximum efforts through continued collaboration with the police in the state of Saskatoon, where the student lived,” Battah said. TV advertisements and posters on the missing student are evident all over the state in the hope that someone would come forward with news pointing to Hamza's discovery. Furthermore, as the frozen river has now thawed, a team of divers dived three consecutive days in search of the body without any luck. Leila Al-Sharif, Hamza's sister, said: “I received a phone call from Saskatoon police and the investigators told me they found a winter jacket believed to belong to my brother. However, I have not seen the jacket yet to determine whether it is Hamza's or not.” __
