A cool $450,000 in cash, “stolen” from Mahmoud al-Zahar’s hotel room in Kuwait. Uh huh.
What? You mean, all foreign ministers don’t travel around with a half million bucks in their baggage?
$450,000 said stolen from PA foreign minister during visit to Kuwait.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar has had $450,000 stolen from his hotel room during his current visit to Kuwait, the Itim news agency quoted the Kuwaiti media as saying Wednesday.
According to the report, al-Zahar had asked the Kuwaiti authorities to keep the theft under wraps, but the incident was confirmed by a security official at the hotel.
The foreign minister, a senior member of Hamas, is on a tour of Arab and Muslim countries to drum up funds after Israel suspended the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority and Western donors cut off aid to the Hamas-led government.
