Serves him right.It is peanuts for the Sheikh.Why dont these Arabs go and hunt in their own country?
Recommend
Good news. These filthy rich sheikhs kill birds, animals,in other countries while Pakistanis are jailed or hanged in their country without legal support and proper trails. Are we a respectable nation to allow these predators to hunt and do all nonsense in this country created by our great leaders.Recommend
Not one to condone armed robbery, but by God, these petrodollar shieks who hunt our poor endangered wildlife deserve everything they get! And shame on our kowtowing governments for letting them do this hunting!

Sheikh Ali, who is in the province on a hunting trip, :- How can Pakistani govt allow such activity ?? … are we living in medieval ages ???

Shukar hai, they spared his life!

@uzair. totally agree. it is a shame they are allowed to hunt in Pakistan.

First of all we should damn on our politicians and other Elite class for whom the hunting is their favourite Hobby…..Then we can curse others..

The poor animals and birds! High time pakistani people take power in their hands and take care of the military and politicians!

Good news from Balochistan for a change! :-)

The (oil) looter becomes the the looted. How poetic.

Looks like after CIA, Raymond davis, RAW even Arab Sheikhs have started hunting in Pakistan!

@Mard-e-Haq:
I have differences with Qatari regime but how on earth are they looters of their own natural resource
Recommend
Was it revenge of the birds?
Recommend
i wish instead of looking him someone had hunted him instead and kept him in activity.

what was he going to do with 60 million in forest.Recommend
What he was doing with 60 million on a hunting trip?!?!?!?!? IdiotRecommend
@ Hafiz Shah – Angry Birds, maybe?

This incident should be discussed in the US foreign affairs house committee ;)
Recommend
Thank you Robin Hood! Thanks for saving our birds and helping to raise our dwindling cash reserves.
Recommend
How apt. BTW, why does Pak (the govt, the army, whoever) allow foreigners to hunt in the country?
Recommend
What has the world come to?
One Arab stealing from other makes me so sad :(

I am ashamed. We are insulting a guest.
This is against our our traditions. We have truly lost our soul!

Usually when a Councillor of some foreign country is on country’s visit, all and sundry knows since media invariably covers it. Here you go: Petroleum Minister of a rich Arab country is in the country, and we don’t get to know about it until he is robbed. Just like Usama was here and we didn’t know until he was killed.
Recommend
@Mir Baloch: 60 million was not for the hunt of birds but he wishes to hunt some BUTTERFLIES with the help of some locals.
Recommend
Why he was carring 60M.Recommend
These guys usually have full proof Frontier Core protocol with them.
Recommend
For once I liked these Robinhoods from Baluchistan! Those who do not know the value of 60M do not deserve it. Wish this money goes for real good purpose.
Recommend
Why do you all hate arabs? – we need tourists in our country to come and spend their money. We have already alienated the Europeans and Americans due to their fear of terrorism – At least we still have a few arab tourists that have the guts to visit this lawless country
Recommend
Pakistanis will do any thing for money!

these oil sheikhs all are mixed up with the feudal class of Pakistan. Its an arrangement whereby a corrupt elite in our country entertains the corrupt elite of another country while the rest of us continue to get treated like serfs both at home and abroad. We need to check relations between these sheikhs and the feudals and put a stop to them…they provide way too much money and support to sustain a primitive system that is not in Pakistan’s national interests. Truth be told, the arabs have gotten accustomed to viewing us as lesser humans and we’ve become accustomed to accepting that status…this needs to change. Come to our country with a proper visa and act like any other visitor…you don’t get allotted areas to hunt endangered species, you don’t get to build private airports and occupy private lakes and hundreds of acres of farm land. You should get as many rights in Pakistan as the ordinary Pakistani has in your country..not more!
Recommend
Its not a good news every one all these looted money used in terrorism activities.
Recommend
Why he is carrying 60 M with him? He is not in city but hunting in forest. Anybody knows law inorder in Bulchistan so why he opted to hunt in Bulchistan and 2ndly with such big money. Normally when they hunt they have their own convoy Plus security from Gov. But from news item it seems that there is no security around him. Do it not seems fishy.
Recommend
Better this issue is investigated properly, because the best place for hunting is African Saffari not Baluchistan, and also the guy is carrying 60 million on hunting trip is very suspiciousRecommend
This man might be the agent of RAW and CIA and the huge cash is meant to be given to Beluchi insurgents.
Recommend
There is no Qatari petroleum minister called Ali, the tribune should know better than to write articles like this.
