Columnist Mohammed Bin Mohammed An'am says in his article that the journalists have been informed that there would be a “security source” promised by the minister of interior Rashad al-Aleemi, similar as it is done in many countries of the world. Such a center would provide information for media instrument to avoid any information leaking from other sources that may be incorrect.
More than three months elapsed since the promise was made by the minister but yet nothing happened. The news caused joy for journalists, especially for those who had been victims of the rap of the security source and to find themselves guilty without committing any guilt. If we have security source we would not witness the publication and spreads of rumours by external media. As journalist this demand is emanating from our keenness to talk to a person officially authorized in order that through him we can report the facts and factual news.
