Tribal Fighting in Khawlan Stopped [Archives:2000/16/Local News]

Mediators managed on Thursday to stop a fighting between Al-Makhraf district and Al-Ma’ayin district, who belong to upper Yamaneen tribe in Khawlan. The battle continued for three days. One person was killed and three others were injured.
Some mediators said the fighting was caused by a single quarrel between two persons of both tribes.
Sheik Khalid Mohammed Al-Ghairi, sheik of Al-Yamaneen tribe, Khawlan said that mediators reached an armistice between the two parties to avoid more problems. He pointed out that there were some hidden hands behind the fighting. They aim at creating tension within the tribe, especially after the earlier kidnapping incident of the Polish ambassador.
