This is a short news about Saudi Arabia's Dr. Ali Al Ghamdi and his love of Pakistan. He even speaks a little Urdu! The most significant point here is the Saudi view of Pakistan as the beacon of the Muslim Ummah and the glorification of 2-nation theory of Indo-Pak subcontinent. Automatically, that means a permanent hatred of Bangladesh -- the enemy that struck asunder the dream of a Muslim nationhood in the midst of Hinduland! This, in other words, is a very very BAD news for Bangladesh and the on-going trials of 1971 War Crimes in Dhaka.
The strong Saudi pressure will bend any US willingness to cooperate with the proceedings of the Trial, and the double-weighted clout is sure to wield influence among the Islamic-minded members of the BD Govt.
