Saudi Gazette report DAMMAM — The Saudi Embassy in Bahrain has contacted the Ministry of Interior after two children were allegedly smuggled into Bahrain by their mother, Al-Madinah newspaper reported Tuesday. Their Saudi father was married to a Bahraini woman who traveled to the Gulf country across King Fahd Causeway and was able to smuggle her two children without any identification documents. The children's father said his wife managed to smuggle the two boys through the bridge's diplomatic access. He claimed that a woman helped facilitate their escape. The father said he would not take any action against his wife, and his only demand was for anyone who helped her to be held accountable for their actions. He retrieved his two sons and they came back to the Kingdom, but his wife reportedly refused to return with him and sought a divorce. The woman refused to comment on the case. Hisham Al-Mansour, Saudi affairs manager at the embassy, said the family dispute was resolved amicably, but the Interior Ministry is investigating officers for possible violations in facilitating the escape.
