DHAKA NEWS
Dhaka, Mar 9 The Saudi foreign ministry has directed all its diplomats abroad to not wear their national dress in public places or go out late at night.
The directive came days after Khalaf Bin Muhammad Salim Al-Ali, second secretary at the Saudi Embassy in Dhaka, was killed last Tuesday.
The Saudi national dress – a full-length, loose garment with long sleeved called thawb – can only be worn in official ceremonies or while in work place, reported the Saudi newspaper quoting unnamed sources.
The ministry also advised its diplomatic staff to be cautious and contact their heads of missions immediately if they were threatened or noticed anything suspicious, like being followed by vehicles or persons.
A number of countries including Jordan, Bahrain and the UAE have condoled the killing.
The body of Khalaf Ali reached Riyadh late last night. A large number of Saudi foreign ministry officials led by Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah received the body, reported Arab News.
Ali, 45, an official with the consular section, was shot by unknown gunmen near his Gulshan house early hours of Tuesday.
He succumbed to the bullet injury four hours later but police are clueless about who killed him or even the motive of the murder.
