Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Mubarak's protege

It is refreshing to read things against Saudi Arabia in the Egyptian press these days. It is delightful.  I can't wait until the Egyptian press goes all out against the House of Saud.  So there is a brewing scandal which did not bring any attention in the US:  Mubarak's corrupt businessman (who was involved in the corrupt deal of gas sales to Israel and who was in the Egyptian mukhabarat and who bought a villa for Mubarak in Sharm Al-Shaykh) was caught (not personally as he fled) trying to smuggle precious items from Cairo airport headed to Saudi Arabia and addressed to son of Prince Muqrin (head of Saudi mukhabrat).
