Hunting Spree

"Iraqi border police turned a Qatari Emir home as he tried to enter the country for a hunting spree. Sheikh Jaber al-Khalifa al-Thani reached Iraq’s border in the southern city of Basra with a motorcade of more than 20 vehicles but was not allowed to enter. The Sheikh had obtained approval from the ministries of interior and foreign affairs but the permission was later overruled by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki without notifying the Qatari government in advance."
